It
is believed that Greece was first to introduce democracy. Most Athenians (Greek) were in impression that women had strong
emotions and weak minds. Therefore, woman had to live under (kyrios) guardians whether father or else adult male as guardian.
She was not allowed to enter into any contract and own property, guardians controlled everything otherwise she was allowed
own jewelry; personal slaves and enjoy religious ceremonies which banned for men. Wifes responsibility was to bear children
and manage house. She was not allowed to move out of house except for funeral and religious ceremonies where men were not
permitted. Women were not even permitted to go out with her husband as women seen outside were as prostitutes, or poor women
slaves. Even women were behind curtains if any guest of husband arrived. Men were allowed to keep non-wives and get entertained
by courtesans (high class prostitutes). Wife at home and served house knows as decent and credited to the parents who gave
birth and nourished.
