Answer: Hammurabi's law was not in favour of women.
Explanation:
The society ruled by King Hammurabi was rigidly patriarchal. For example, a man could take a woman's life because of adultery without holding anyone accountable. How patriarchal the society was is shown by the fact that if a father beat his son, he would not be punished. A woman could also be thrown out of the house or turned into a slave because of disobedience. For example, if a woman had some debts before marriage, she had to ask for a guarantee that she would not be sold into slavery because of debts since such cases also occurred.
