Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
During the medieval Europe which is a time around the 5th to 15th century, the general perception in the church was that women are weak naturally compared to men, hence, the church in an attempt to defend and protect women set a minimum age for marriage, while the church courts fined men who seriously injured their wives.
Hence, the Church protected women by SETTING MINIMUM MARRIAGE AGE and fined men who SERIOUSLY INJURED THEIR WIVES.
