Extending rights to women
- daughter married passed into the power of her husband. Such a marriage was quite rare, however, and daughters usually remained in the power of their birth family. This meant that any property the wife owned outside of her dowry and prenuptial donation remained in her family. Her husband administered the dowry and prenuptial donation and was certainly the "head of the house" on a day to day basis. Some kings did not do this but he did not
- Throughout the time of the Empire divorce had been easy to get. Either side was free to end the marriage for any or no reason at all.
