That is not fair on women.Why do have they to inherit and become the possessions of their father, husband or brother also according to the Torah? Is this fair on women???

I do not think this is possible. Where could they get all that semen from?
Could you please quote the book and verse where you got this.
As I understand it the Torah is the first five books of the bible(Pentateuch, for the Christians) but is sometimes used to include certain teachings and reflections such as the Talmud, mishnah etc. In the Talmud it says that justice should always be tempered with mercy. I think the usual penalty for female adultery was stoning in ancient times. A man had a different penalty, if the woman was unmarried, he should marry her, if she was married, he should make amends to the husband.
The ancient Hebrews were nomadic shepherds, they had a patriarchal society. Women had protection so long as they obeyed the rules of the society. It was vital to the men that they protect their control of women, as they had to be assured that any children born were in fact their own. This is how life was in the past for many peoples, not just Jews. The men control the wealth and the women have to depend on the men to survive. In exchange, their job is to care for the men and produce children for them. The woman cannot hold the wealth, because she does not generally have the power to keep it. There was no police force, no central state to appeal to. It is unfair to us, but it was a stage of development for society. Things change. And we hope they improve.
Today we are very protected, but look how in times when society breaks down how easy it is for women to lose protection. Rape and murder can become uncontrolled. Wartime is a good example of this today. Look at Iraq, where the rule of law is uncertain, at parts of Africa where it has disappeared. Women and children are the ones in the greatest danger because they cannot compete on equal terms, to survive they have to find a protector.
This is reality. The world is not fair, it is a dangerous place. It is a continual struggle to create and hold a fair and safe society, to protect the weaker members and give them the same opportunities for development and happiness as the more powerful. That is what we mean when we talk about a civilised society.

dude, if it's something "THEY" try to keep locked away - do you really think some link on the Internet is realistic - man, if so i have some land in south florida to sell you. in regards to the women becoming possessions of their men folk - get a life - women then are different from women now - the men were under law obligated to take care of the women -- wish my brothers and dad had to take care of my every need so i didn't have to work - i'll gladly send them my mortgage and car payments!

wth are you TALKING about?
I would tend to belive the last answre about the obviously deliberate, and absurd translation "confusion"
1) nobody tries to lock it away, in fact I can go to my synogogue just about any time I wish, (of course, would have to talk to one of the people in the synogogue that has acess and such... regular security type things of course...) and look at the torah. I can also look up reliable translations online at will.
2) I thought it was stoned, not boiled in oil. (honestly that makes massively more sense, and an absurd amount more sense than what you said...)
3) what part of the world in that time period, were woman even remotely treated any better? remember that in jewish culture there WERE regulations on violence (admittedly... not as strict as they could have been, but how many cultures of the time had ANY limitations? it recognized the idea of divorce...

to be fair, they had been given the mosaic law which forbade it. so if they wanted to break God's law they had to pay the penalty. the men who commited adultary were also put to death along with the woman, so it wasn't completely unfair to the women

Do you have a modern videotape of Jews stoning a woman?
That's interesting! I do have a video-clip of evil, subhuman muslims stoning to death 2 women in public.
I don't care about 1000 years ago, I care about today.

it is certainly not fair, and it's not semen but shemen (oil in hebrew), but women in ancient times were considered property, not people.
