In Hammurabi's Code, if a man leaves his wife, the dowry that she brought into the marriage is returned to her. This reflects the principle that the dowry is meant to provide security for the wife, and if the marriage is dissolved, she is entitled to retain her property. Additionally, the husband is required to provide for her support during the separation, emphasizing the protection of women's rights within that legal framework.
