Which of the following was true regarding the European concept of "honor" in colonial Latin America?

Men were expected to remain virgins until married. Once married, they would be deemed "dishonorable" if they cheated on their wife. Infidelity for men was so dishonorable that it was seen as unforgivable.

Men were expected to physically defend the virginity of his daughter(s) and the monogamy of his wife.

Enslaved people had no honor, with NO exceptions.

The concept of European "honor" originated in the pre-Christian Mediterranean and had to do with how land was inherited--illegitimate children of men did not inherit land, where as illegitimate children of women could.

"Honor" was not an example of patriarchy and had little to do with men's fear of women's manipulation of them. Typically for most European women in colonial Latin America, the more wealth you had, the more restrictions you had on your freedoms in the name of "honor."

Typically, poor women in Latin America were to be escorted by men on the streets.
