For the most part of human civilization, women have been treated as an entity, merely a property, given to anyone who claims them first. Women had been deprived of any share in husband’s possessions when he passed away. In some cultures, women were and are being left to suffer and mourn for the rest of the life without any financial security and chance to remarry someone after the death of deceased husband.
In most cases, men have lost the power to control women with money nowadays since women has more equal opportunities with men than before. And so with this, women can't be a property of men anymore.
