उत्तर
- During the Rig Vedic Period, women were respected. The institution of marriage had become sacred. The daughters were given the freedom to choose their husbands. The system of remarriage of widows was prevalent. There are no examples of child marriage. The marriageable age in the Rig Veda seems to have been 16 to 17.
- In the Later Vedic Period, there was a significant decline in the status of women. Their participation in Yajnas was not considered necessary. They did not enjoy the right to property. The freedom to choose husbands by women was curtailed.
