When a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod, and the slave dies under his abuse, the owner must be punished.  However, if the slave can stand up after a day or two, the owner should not be punished because he is his [owner's] property. -Exodus 21:20-21

And you could stone a woman for stepping out on you or sell your kid into slavery to make a debt good.

It's hard to compare societal norms from 2000 years ago to today.
