To accurately describe the rights of men and women in ancient Jewish society, the following responses apply:

  • Men could marry anyone they chose, but women had no say in marriage.
  • Women had some legal rights and protections, but not as many as men.

In ancient Jewish society, women typically had fewer rights compared to men, particularly in areas such as marriage and legal standing. While women had some legal protections, overall, the rights and social power of men and women were not equal.
