Here's a few funny quotes of the Hammurabi code:
"if a woman wishes to leave her husband, she must present good reason. If it is decided that she is guiltless and has a legitimate reason to leave her husband, then she may leave with the money she brought into the marriage and go back to her father’s house. If, however, it is decided that the woman does not have good reason, but leaves her husband regardless and ruins her house, neglecting her husband, then she is to be cast into the water to drown.”
“If a man strikes a free-born woman so much that she loses her unborn child, he shall pay shekels for her loss and, If the woman dies, his daughter shall be put to death.”
"if a man kills a free-born woman he must provide compensation for her father or husband with shekels or a female slave, If he cannot, his daughter or wife shall be put to death. if the woman did not have a father or a husband then he is free of guilt."
