in complete sentences explain how gender specifically regarding women determines punishment in the code of hammurabi and how this contributes to the passages central ides.

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.
