B
Property laws required men to share property with their wives upon marriage.
C
Property laws provided women the chance to purchase property at a lower rate.
D
Property laws created opportunities for women to sell previously held property at a profit.

Explanation

Historically, marriage laws often treated a wife's property as her husband's, limiting her control over what she owned. Reforms to property laws let women retain or obtain personal property after marriage, giving them greater financial independence. Choice A, allowing women to obtain personal property after marriage, best describes this improvement.
