Explanation:
The Hindu women enjoyed respect in their family, participated in religious ceremonies, were educated and many of them acquired scholarly fame as well.
Yet, in general, their status had deteriorated in the society and they suffered from many social evils.
Normally, monogamy was prevalent in the society but, among the rich a man could keep many wives. The widows could not marry again. They either became sati at the pyre of their husbands or passed their lives as women-hermits. The Muslims were always prepared either to molest or to capture Hindu-women which resulted in child-marriages and Purdah system.
