Answer 2

C. A woman could own property even after she married.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dutch policies toward women's rights in New Amsterdam (later called New York) include premarital rights.

Premarital rights for women included prenuptial agreements which enabled them to keep their wealth after married.

When women married, they could choose to live according to manus or according to usus. Under manus, her husband would be her legal representative and their properties became part of the community property. Under usus, women retained all her wealth making a prenuptial agreement.
