First, Franz would not allow officers or soldiers to treat those naturalized women as spoils of war. After all, returning through naturalization meant becoming citizens of the Austrian Empire.
They would enjoy the rights accorded to citizens. Unless those officers and soldiers were willing to marry them, they could not be allowed to have their way.
This averted the worst possible outcome.
Second, everyone needed systematic reeducation. The Austrian Imperial government and the Church would specifically allocate funds to establish Reformatories.
Beyond teaching them to adapt to life and language in the Austrian Empire, the purpose of the Reformatories was chiefly to distinguish their value through observation and labor.
A small handful of outstanding individuals could indeed be used as model examples.
But for most ordinary people, the goal was to teach them a practical skill so they could earn a living.
The converted women would also work collectively in the Reformatories. A small portion of their wages would cover their expenses, while the remainder would serve as savings for their entry into the Austrian Empire.
The Church and the Empire would continue providing assistance to these converted women so they could integrate into Austrian Imperial society.
