Solution

The correct option is B
3 only
केवल 3

Explanation:

Statement 1 is incorrect: The Rig Vedic society was patriarchal. Even then women were given equal opportunities as men for their spiritual and intellectual development. There were women poets like Apala, Viswavara, Ghosa, Lopamudra during the Rig Vedic period. Women could even attend popular assemblies.

Statement 2 is incorrect: Monogamy was generally practised while polygamy was prevalent among the royal and noble families. The wife took care of the household and participated in all the major ceremonies.

Statement 3 is correct: There was no child marriage and the practice of sati was absent.

व्याख्या:

कथन 1 गलत है: ऋग्वेदिक समाज पितृसत्तात्मक था। फिर भी महिलाओं को उनके आध्यात्मिक और बौद्धिक विकास के लिए पुरुषों के समान अवसर दिए गए। ऋग्वैदिक काल में अपाला, विश्ववर, घोष, लोपामुद्रा जैसी महिला कवयित्री थीं। महिलाएं आम सभाओं में भी शामिल हो सकती थीं।

कथन 2 गलत है: एक विवाह प्रथा आमतौर पर प्रचलित था जबकि बहुविवाह शाही और कुलीन परिवारों में प्रचलित था। पत्नी घर की देखभाल करती थी और सभी प्रमुख समारोहों में भाग लेती थी।

कथन 3 सही है: बाल विवाह नहीं होता था और सती प्रथा मौजूद नहीं थी।
