Egyptians married young – Age 13 to 17.
The husband was the master, but the wife ran the household and educated the children. – Example of Patriarchy but women had some rights.
• Women kept their property, even in marriage. • Marriages could end in divorce, which included
compensation for the women. • Women could become independent
