Why is the social status of ancient western and ancient oriental women like this?

Since ancient times, the rights and status of women in the East and the West have shown great differences-the rights and status of women in the West are obviously superior to those in the East. In the past, people only knew about the discrimination and inequality between men and women in ancient eastern and western laws, but they didn't notice the relative differences under this * * *. After all, women in the ancient west have never been enslaved by men, and their rights are quite guaranteed in law and in real social life, unlike women in the East who are in a very miserable situation. When we study the ancient legal systems and civilizations of the East and the West, we will notice the great differences in women's rights and status between the East and the West as long as we pay a little attention. It can be seen from code of hammurabi, Manu Code and China's laws of past dynasties that in ancient Greece, Rome and medieval Europe, women's rights were well protected, and their social status was relatively higher than that of oriental women. Oriental women are only regarded as slaves and property of men, without any independent rights and personality, and there is extreme inequality between men and women. In the East, the moral and legal constraints on women are extremely strict, and women are often accused. The law rarely protects women, but the punishment for women is surprisingly cruel and unfair. Code of hammurabi clearly stipulates that freemen can sell their wives and children to pay their debts as slaves.
