Refresh my memory.

If it was Scripture, it was God's design.

If not, it was man's.

So what is the point either way?

It was just a question...I was just curious. I guess I'll have to go study up on it to be able to answer YOUR questions.

Seems like the examples in scripture throughout the OT show that women weren't exactly treated as they are nowadays. i.e. polygamus marriages, no inheritance, arranged marriages, separation in the tabernacle. Were those things instructed by God? Or just a part of the culture of man?
