In fact, these laws are called "Sumerian Family Laws".
The Code of Hammurabi, one of the oldest deciphered writings of significant length, primarily reflects the patriarchal structure of Babylonian society. While it addresses various aspects of daily life, including property rights and family matters, it does not explicitly outline women's rights as understood today. Women were often viewed in relation to their male guardians, and their status was largely determined by their roles as wives or mothers. Thus, the absence of clear rights for women in the code highlights the limitations and inequalities inherent in that historical context.
