    Compare the status of women in the Early and Later Vedic Age.

    Answer:

    In the Early Vedic Age, women were treated equally and were allowed some choice in the selection of their husbands. They received education also. Child marriage and sati did not exist and widows were not treated badly. Women participated in the sabha, rituals and even chariot races. In the Later Vedic age, they were not educated or allowed to read the Vedas. They no longer participated in the sabha. Child marriage and sati came into existence and widow remarriage was strongly opposed. The women were supposed to be under the control of her father and later her husband.
