During which age did women enjoy equality with men?

Detailed Solution:

The correct answer is “Mauryan age”.

During the Mauryan period, particularly under the reign of Ashoka, there is evidence that women enjoyed a relatively higher status and some degree of equality compared to later periods. For instance, women had rights in religious and social spheres, and there were provisions for their welfare.

The Gupta period, however, is often noted for a decline in women's status and more restrictive roles.
