During the Rig Vedic Period women were respected . The institution of marriage had become sacred. The daughters were given freedom to choose their husbands . The system of remarriage of widows was prevalent.
There are no examples of child-marriage. The marriageable age in the Rig Veda seems to have been 16 to 17.
In the Later Vedic Period, there was significant decline in the status of women . Their participation in Yajnas was not considered necessary. They did not enjoy the right to property. The freedom to choose husbands by women was curtailed..
Hope it helps u!!
