The world was not a very good place. Men were allowed to beat their women. If they went to the police or court for help they would not help them because it was not illegal. Also if the man and the woman were to get a divorce the man would get everything. It did not matter if it was the woman's property before they got married. When they get married all the property became the mans. Even the children became the mans and the woman never got to see them again.
