The status of women under the Mughal regime

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The status of women under the Mughal regime varied greatly. While some women at court received education and had positions of power, women in general did not have equal rights or opportunities as men. However, the idea that all women were forbidden to own property (option B) is incorrect. In fact, women were allowed to own property and some even held leadership roles in business and trade. The statement about the Emperor ordering Muslim women to practice sati (option C) is also incorrect as the Mughal emperors did not enforce the practice of sati. Option D is also incorrect as the status of women was not based strictly on religion, but rather on a variety of factors including their social standing and access to education and resources.
