The man's happiness is a priority because the women he cares about at the moment can sell the woman he used to care about. Ancient Mesopotamian society couldn't care less about women.

If an adopted son says to his adoptive father or mother: "You are not my father, or my mother," his tongue shall be cut off.

    This law is outrageous because that is biologically true and his tongue has to pay the price of speaking his mind.


    1. If the woman dies, his daughter shall be put to death.


      This law is outrageous because how is it the daughter's fault, and now you lost two innocent people instead of one.
