Many of these female scholars composed hymns of Rigveda. Polygamy wasn’t a common practice among the masses, except for with the nobles and kings. Likewise, there were no child marriage. The widows were not forced to be burnt as per the Sati system. The status of women deteriorated in the later Vedic period.
