Resumen
[ES] Durante los siglos XV al XVIII, la mujer pertenecía al hombre, dependía de él y lo obedecía en todo lo que deseara. Debido a esta vinculación, en delitos como el adulterio, el rapto, la violación o el amancebamiento, siempre intervenía el hombre, para restablecer o reparar el honor de la familia, bien castigándola o haciendo que la castigasen con penas dispares, como por ejemplo el destierro, la pena de muerte, el emplumamiento, la flagelación o su exposición pública por las calles de la ciudad, en ocasiones desnudas. Penas usadas también para castigar a mujeres culpables de otro tipo de delitos como son los de palabra, fraudes, asesinatos o incluso delitos contra la administración de justicia.
Por otra parte, las prostitutas pertenecían a todos los hombres, así como al rufián que las protegía, lo que justificaba su violación. No obstante, a partir del cierre de las mancebías, la prostitución se prohibió, y para condenar éste u otros delitos que la mujer hubiese sido capaz de cometer, en el siglo XVII se crearon unas cárceles específicas para las mujeres, llamadas Galeras. Solo ingresaban en ellas las malas mujeres que pertenecían a la plebe, pues las mujeres de buena fama eran castigadas en sus casas o en conventos.

Due to this entail, in crimes as the adultery, the kidnapping, the violation or the concubinage, always the man was the interventor, to restore or to repair the honor of the family, maybe punishing or applying her some kind of penalties, as for example the exile, the death sentence, the fledging, the flagellation or his public exhibition at the streets of the city, in some cases naked. Sorrow used also to punish guilty women of another type of crimes since they are those of word, frauds, murders or enclosed crimes against the administration of justice. On the other hand, the prostitutes concerned to all the men, as well as to the villain who protect them, that fact justifies their violation. However, after the closing of brothels, prostitution was banned, and to condemn this or other crimes that the woman had been able to commit, in the XVII century specific prisons for women were created, which were called Galeras. In those galeras only bad women had the permission to get into the prisons, on the other side the women which has good reputation were punished in their houses or in convents.
