What are some of the limitations of Hammurabi's code as evidence of life in Babylonia?

Hammurabi's Code, while a significant legal document, has limitations as evidence of life in Babylonia. It primarily reflects the perspectives of the elite and does not account for the experiences of lower classes or women, often enforcing patriarchal structures. Additionally, the code emphasizes punitive measures over social customs or daily life practices, providing a narrow view of societal norms. Lastly, the existence of the code in written form may indicate a more formal legal system but doesn't capture the complexities of everyday interactions or oral traditions that shaped Babylonian life.
