«The Trump admin has moved aggressively to revoke temporary legal status of 100s of 1000s of #immigrants who were allowed into the country under President Biden

#LegalStatus of Women in Ancient #Rome

During the early days of Rome, daughters “had equal rights with sons to a share of the family property” (Rawson, 18) when the father died. Despite #GuardianshipLaws passed in #169BC, Roman women managed to acquire property and wealth.

While women were not allowed to hold political offices (only religious positions), some women, like the #VestalVirgins, were exempt from #guardianship laws.

Women's rights in Greece and Rome were more of my specialty -- especially ancient Greece. And yes, all this was how it was -- women had few rights under #Athenian #patriarchy.

#LegalStatus of Women in #Ancient Greece

Women were dependent on fathers, husbands, or #kyroi (appointed guardians). They could not own property, and were considered wards of their fathers or kyroi.

In #500BCE, fathers could sell their unmarried daughters “who had lost their #virginity” (Blundell, 69) into slavery.

#Inheritance was #patrilineal” (Blundell, 66) – even if a daughter was the only child, she could not inherit her father’s property – it would be passed down to “her sons” (Blundell, 66), or “more distant [male] relatives” (Blundell, 66).

Marriage in #AncientEgypt

In ancient Egypt, it is believed that “most marriages were arranged, with an eye to social and financial advantages” (Watterson, 15).

Most Egyptian men had one wife, although men of higher status could take on other wives or concubines “with the agreement of the spouse” (Watterson, 16).

Marriage was considered a legal contract, drawn up by the “prospective husband and the bride’s father” (Watterson, 15), but often the bride was the “contracting partner (Watterson, 16) and represented her own interests.

Women were allowed to initiate divorce and “often came out of the marriage with more security than many modern women” (Watterson, 16).

If a man initiated the divorce, he “had to return her dowry, give her the marriage gift […] and pay her compensation” (Watterson, 16). If the woman initiated the divorce, she “was given back her dowry and usually a share of any property” (Watterson, 16) acquired after the marriage.

Both “parties were free to remarry” (Watterson, 16) after the divorce.

Legal Status of Women in #AncientEgypt

In ancient Egypt, women “enjoyed the same rights under the law as a man” (Watterson, 16). They could “buy, sell, be a partner in legal contracts […] bring an action to court, and adopt children in her own name” (Watterson, 16), without having to consult a guardian or other male authority figure.

Property passed down through the #matrilineal line, from “mother to daughter” (Watterson, 16), perhaps because back then “maternity [was] a matter of fact, paternity a matter of opinion” (Watterson, 16).
