Question

The provisional management of the children shall rest with the husband,

petitioner, or defendant, in the suit for divorce, unless it be otherwise ordered
for the greater advantage of the children, on petition of either the mother, or
the family, or the government commissioner.
The above quote is an excerpt from the Napoleonic Law Code.
What does this demonstrate about the rights of women in Napoleonic
France?

Answer 1

It shows that women were seen as inferior in Napoleonic France; women were not given equal rights to men even in their own homes.
