In medieval times, husbands for women were often chosen by their families, particularly their fathers or male guardians. Marriages were typically arranged for social, economic, or political reasons rather than for love, and the choice of a spouse would consider factors such as family alliances, wealth, and social status. Women had limited agency in these decisions, with their primary role being to accept or reject the proposed match.
Some medieval women were abused, and some were not. Medieval times were no different than other times and places. In some places the laws did not protect women well, but there were a lot of places where there were specific laws to protect women from abusive husbands and other family members. Also, nearly everywhere in Christian Europe, any women could get protection in the sanctuary of a convent. As to why women were abused in Medieval Europe, the reasons have not changed. This is a complicated question dealt with by people ranging from sociologists to psychologists.
In medieval times, women who disobeyed their husbands could face various consequences, often depending on the severity of their disobedience and the social context. In some cases, they might be subjected to verbal reprimands or social ostracism, while in others, physical punishment or confinement could occur. Legal systems often favored husbands, and women had limited rights, which could leave them vulnerable to abuse or mistreatment. Overall, societal norms enforced male authority, making disobedience a serious matter for many women.

Their primary responsibilities included managing the home, raising children, and supporting their husbands. Social norms dictated that women should be modest, submissive, and virtuous, often viewing them as moral guardians of the family.
