Feet binding was a custom and not a law practiced in China.
The custom was first written about in the Song Dynasty (960-1279) lasted all the way till the beginning of the 20th century. Young girls would bend their feet underneath itself as much as possible then wrapped them with tight bandages thus stopping the girl's feet to form and grow properly. The ultimate result would be feet that were usually four to six inches in length. The 'perfect' foot was anywhere between three and four inches.
It was believed that these feet were beautiful/erotic and without the bound feet they would never marry. Also, with bound feet, a female couldn't walk around unaided. She would be limited to staying mostly at home. To go out she would need help by a family, friend or husband. Due to this, bound feet was also a symbolism for chastity.
Ultimately, families had a choice as to whether they were going to bind their daughter's feet. But, for the futures of their daughters, there really was no choice. It had to be done.
Foot binding was practiced in China as a symbol of beauty and social status, but it was not illegal. It was a long-standing cultural tradition that was eventually banned by the Chinese government in 1912, following efforts by reformers who viewed the practice as inhumane and harmful to women's health.
