Question

What was the position of women and untouchable in the gupta age?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The condition of women in the Gupta Empire period slowly deteriorated. The women were given secondary position in the Gupta Empire society. It was expected from a woman to obey her father before she was married, then after marriage obey her husband and finally to obey her son. Thus, the life of a woman in Gupta period was confined within the restrictions imposed upon her by the male members of the family.

During the Gupta period girls were married off at a tender age of six to seven years. The early marriage of girls guaranteed the fact that they were chaste. Widow re- marriage was permitted..
