their article isn't factually incorrect concerning the law. and it is something of historical note that the germanic peoples indeed did treat their women better than abrahamics and mediterraneans.
The article basically mentions
>women could divorce easily
truth. germanic women could leave their men if they thought they weren't providing for the household correctly. This is much more "progressive" than med and mud laws in the same period.
>rape was outlawable
again, fairly true. rape was considered an assault on par with injuring someone with an edged weapon all the way down to the bone.
what isn't mentioned about their rape laws: women had no legal voice in the thing, thus for a rape to actually get prosecuted, a man would have to advocate on the woman's behalf.
