A wife’s infidelity was strictly punished to protect property and lineage, while a husband's affairs were largely ignored. Men feared unknowingly passing estates to illegitimate heirs. Based on humoral theory, medieval society viewed women as naturally insatiable and unable to control their desires, using this to justify strict control over female bodies and inheritance.

Medieval ideal body language
Body: A prominent pear shape featuring small breasts, high waists, narrow shoulders, wide hips, and a slight potbelly (symbolizing fertility and health).
Facial & Skin: Pale, "snow-white" skin, rosaceous cheeks, a plucked or high hairline (to emphasize a prominent forehead), and light or golden hair.
Youth: Ideals were heavily tied to youthfulness, framing aging as a loss of value.
