Status of women during the Medieval period.
उत्तर

- Only women from upper castes and aristocracy were given education in private.
- Widow remarriage which was permitted in the Vedic period came to be considered taboo.
- Women continued to be excluded from family inheritances.
- Practices of child marriage, sati, purdah system, and Devadasi system made women the objects of exploitation.
- The patriarchal joint family, the customs of polygamy and early marriage, etc. all contributed to smothering the free development and growth of women.
