[[Women in Judaism]] have a range of rights and obligations ( see main article [[Jewish views on marriage]]). Marriage takes place on the basis of a Jewish marriage contract, called a [[Ketubah]]. There is a blur of arranged marriages and love marriages in traditional families.

Married women, in traditional families, wear specific clothes, like the [[tichel]].

==== [[Hebrew Bible]] ====

Once, a man called Shechem, a Hivite, offered a dowry to get an Israelite wife, but was rejected, since he was not an Israelite himself. [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%2034&version=NIV Genesis 34]

In ancient times there were Israelite women who were Judge, [[Queen regnant]], [[Queen regent]], [[Queen mother]], [[Queen consort]], and Prophetess: 
Deborah was the wife of an Israelite man whose name was Lapidoth, which means "torches." Deborah was a Judge and a Prophetess.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Mindel |first1=Nissan |title=The Prophetess Deborah |url=https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/112050/jewish/The-Prophetess-Deborah.htm |website=chabad}}</ref> 
Esther was the Jewish wife of a Persian King named Ahasuerus. Esther was Queen consort to the King of Persia and at the same time she was Queen regnant of the Jewish people in Persia and their Prophetess.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Meir |first1=Tamar |title=Esther: Midrash and Aggadah |url=https://jwa.org/encyclopedia/article/esther-midrash-and-aggadah |website=Jewish Women's Archive}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Gabriel |first1=Brian |title=Esther the Prophet |url=https://classroom.synonym.com/esther-the-prophet-12087132.html}}</ref>
Bathsheba was the Queen consort of King-Prophet David and then the Queen mother of King-Prophet Solomon. He rose from his throne when she entered and bowed to her and ordered that a throne be brought and he had her sit at his right hand, which is in stark contrast to when she was Queen consort and bowed to King-Prophet David when she entered.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Sri |first1=Edward |title=Is Mary's Queenship Biblical? |url=https://www.catholic.com/magazine/print-edition/is-marys-queenship-biblical |website=Catholic Answers}}</ref> Prophet Jeremiah portrays a Queen mother as sharing in her son's rule over the kingdom in [https://biblia.com/bible/nasb95/Jer%2013.18-20 Jeremiah 13:18-20].
