Maybe a young woman's father dies, leaving the woman a half-orphan or full orphan. Maybe the woman's husband dies, leaving the woman a widow. Or maybe the woman is a prostitute, working for the head of the brothel, who is a woman. In all three cases, does the female belong to a male guardian at all? Would rape exist under these situations?

Theodora (c. 500-548) instigated a few legislative reforms concerning the rights of women in the Byzantine Empire: "Theodora participated in Justinian's legal and spiritual reforms, and her involvement in the increase of the rights of women was substantial. She had laws passed that prohibited forced prostitution "and was known for buying girls who had been sold into prostitution, freeing them, and providing for their future." She closed brothels and made pimping a criminal offense. She created a convent on the Asian side of the Dardanelles called the Metanoia (Repentance), where the ex-prostitutes could support themselves. She also expanded the rights of women in divorce and property ownership, instituted the death penalty for rape, forbade exposure of unwanted infants, gave mothers some guardianship rights over their children, and forbade the killing of a wife who committed adultery. Procopius wrote that she was naturally inclined to assist women in misfortune. After Theodora's death, "little effective legislation was passed by Justinian."

In the acknowledgements to Roy Hattersley's David Lloyd George - The Great Outsider Hattersley writes "It was Roy Jenkins who, many years ago, suggested that I write a biography of David Lloyd George - a politician he disliked so heartily that he could not contemplate writing the book himself". So my question is - why? DuncanHill ( talk) 18:34, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
If Japan railways are privatised, how does Japan Railway Construction, Transport and Technology Agency a government agency get involved in the construction of new lines which the private companies operate? Presumably the government fund the developed proposals, which would be developed jointly with the private operators, but how is it decided which company will operate the new line? And do they just gain ownership or do they buy it off JRTT? 176.250.81.228 ( talk) 21:01, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
I want to use this source. How do I get grand totals from that? Are there other sources you might know of?
Why? Here is the blah blah blah...
We do not have List of countries by meat consumption per capita.
We have List of countries by meat consumption but that's how much is eaten per capita including what is missing via retail, food service, home preparation, spoilage, downstream waste, bones, and pets foods.
Lots of articles per capita here: Category:Lists of countries by per capita values
This cat is sparsely populated: Category:Lists of countries by consumption
Many thanks,

@ Anna Frodesiak: (slow response because I can't edit much these days) there is probably some spreadsheet method to find those sums, but I'm not much of a spreadsheet user so I don't know what it is. The "nerd" way is with an SQL query, after loading the csv into an SQL table, e.g.
sqlite> SELECT location, sum(value) FROM meat GROUP BY location ;
I did that and got this output:

I'll leave it to you to paste into the mediawiki table converter since it's probably easier to edit in csv form. If you want more help, I'm sure the WP:RDC regulars are better at this than I am, besides being around more. 173.228.123.166 ( talk) 06:28, 22 June 2018 (UTC)
