Answer:
In ancient Mesopotamia families were very important. The family was the basic unit of society and there were certain things that could and could not be done. For example, a woman living in Mesopotamia could do or go anywhere she wanted as long as she had her husband's permission. In the case of a divorce, both the man and the woman would pay a fine, and if there were no children, the divorce was easy. If the couple did have children, the woman faced severe penalties. The children in a family had to respect their parents because disrespecting parental figures was considered a grave sin. If the family was in a incredibly bad financial situation, then the children would be sold even though selling children was considered a bad omen. Males were the prefered gender in ancient Mesopotamia and the men in Mesopotamia were far more powerful than the women.
