    e) Married women retained a legal identity separate from that of their husbands.

    Explanation:

    Women's in New Netherland accomplished more independence, and more entitlements, compared to the colonial women. In 1653, New Netherland established its court consisting of prosecutor, mayors, and alderman. After the establishment of the court, the women get various rights including marriage rights, premarital rights, manus, usus, and business rights.

    The statement 'Married women retained a legal identity separate from that of their husbands', states that the women can keep their last name even after getting married to someone.
