Answer: In comparison to Buddhism, women's roles in society were minimal in Hinduism's society. Women were seen as dependent minors who needed to be controlled by men in order to succeed under the influence of Hinduism. Hinduism had caused women's rights to decline tremendously during the Vedic period (1600-1800 BCE).
