 //GOOD ARGUMENT BELOW TO STUDY FOR EXAM// r

In April 1950, alot of the terrible things in womens lives were ended. The marraige law disabled arranged marriages, children being married (enhanced age to 18 for women and 20 for men), the killing of unwanted girl babies, and bigamy was made illegal. This law also made both husBand and wife jointly own property reather than just the man or the husband. Divorce was made mutual, and a law that was started in February 1951 was that **women** who were pregnant **got the benefit** of full wages for two months after the birth.
