Roman women were considered the property of their husband, or, if unmarried, their father. They had no choice or input into who they married, if they had children, etc.

They had no claim to their children. If their husband decieded that he did not want any of her children, which was common for girls, he had the right to take the child from his wife and leave it to die. Women had no rights whatsoever.
