Answer:
false
Step-by-step explanation:
False. Married women did not gain legal rights when the English took over the New Netherland (New York) colony. In fact, the legal status of married women in colonial America, including New York, was largely based on English common law, which limited the legal rights of married women. Under English common law, married women had limited property rights, couldn't enter into contracts, and had few legal rights separate from their husbands. It wasn't until much later, through various legal reforms and changes in societal attitudes, that married women in the United States gained more legal rights and recognition.
