Viking Women Had More Rights Than The Others
The men and women of the Vikings did not have the same rights toward their gender. Vikings women had more rights than other than the rest of the women around the world. However, they could be married at the age of 12 and do the duty to be a mother and wife. They had their rights and freedom. They could inherit property, file a divorce, and could reclaim the settlements when the marriage had failed. Even the Viking man was the “man of the house” while the women had the right of the entire property. If her husband dies, she could inherit all the wealth and responsibilities of her husband. There was also a story about a Vikings female warrior called “shieldmaiden” who fought on the battlefield alongside Viking men.
