4,000 years ago Babylonian king hammurabi made the first 282 laws but were they just? In my opinion Hammurabi wasn't just because the punishment to family was too cruel, it can potentially ruin family, it ruins property and personal injury was not fair the the slaves and even free people.
First of all, Hammurabi’s code had harsh punishments. For example in law 148 if a wife is sick the husband marries another wife but the husband has to stay with the sick wife. Also if a boy strikes his father his hands will be cut off. Based on what I read this separate family. It shows separation because the husband no longer cares for his sick wife as much since he is with the other wife. It also shows separation because the boy that got his hands cut
