Question

what was the status of women during the later vedic perio​

Answer 1

Answer:

During the post Vedic period there were perceptible changes in the women's status due to various reasons, among which the most important was the denial of education to the girls. Girls were not allowed to go to the centres of education.

Answer 2

But from enjoying free and esteemed positions in the Rig-Vedic society, women started being discriminated against since the Later-Vedic period in education and other rights and facilities. Child marriage, widow burning, the purdah and polygamy further worsened the women's position.
