Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Frederick Engels viewed monogamous marriage as the male justification for treating women like property. In his book "The Origin of the Family, Private Property, and the State" he argued that in traditional societies, men were able to exert control over women's sexuality and ensure the paternity of their children by establishing monogamous marriage as the norm. This allowed men to pass down their property and wealth to their legitimate offspring, while treating women as their property to be controlled and protected. Engels saw monogamous marriage as a patriarchal institution that subjugated women and reinforced male dominance.
