“Engels understood the hypocrisy of ruling-class marriage and the degradation of woman that came with it.  In Origin of the Family, he describes ruling-class marriages as typically “a conjugal partnership of leaden boredom, known as ‘domestic bliss.’”  Using Marx’s notes, Engels also traces the rise of the family as a property relationship from the meaning of the term family in the Roman Empire:

The original meaning of the word “family” (familia) is not the compound of sentimentality and domestic strife which forms the ideal of the present-day philistine; among the Romans it did not at first even refer to the married pair and their children but only to the slaves.  Famulus means domestic slave, and familia is the total number of slaves belonging to one man.  As late as the time of Gaius, the familia, id est patrimonium (family, that is the patrimony, the inheritance) was bequeathed by will.  The term was invented by the Romans to denote a new social organism whose head ruled over wife and children and a number of slaves, and was invested under Roman paternal power with rights of life and death over them all.”
