The husband in ancient Greece - with the exception of Sparta - had power of life and death over his wife and young children, so that should answer the question. In many Greek States women were confined to womens' quarters in the house and generally they were legally nothing more than the "possession" of their husbands. Of course, then as now you would find tolerant or even hen-pecked husbands regardless of what the law said.
