Nope.

The Bible does not explicitly state that women are the property of men. However, it does contain a passage in 1 Corinthians 7:3-4 that discusses the mutual ownership of bodies in a marital relationship. This passage indicates that a wife's body belongs
to her husband, and likewise, the husband's body belongs to his wife. The context of this passage is within a mutual, respectful marital relationship, emphasizing the idea of mutual consent and responsibility, rather than ownership in a property sense.
This passage is often interpreted as promoting a reciprocal and caring relationship between spouses.

1 Corinthians 7:3-4 states:

"The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. The wife does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his own body but
yields it to his wife."

This passage is a call for mutual self-giving and respect in marriage.
It emphasises the importance of both partners in a marriage being
equally committed to each other's needs, rights, and well-being. The
passage challenges any notion of unilateral power or control in a
marital relationship. Instead, it promotes a model of marriage where
both spouses belong to each other, symbolized by the shared authority
over their bodies. This reflects a broader biblical principle of mutual submission and love within the marriage covenant, as laid out in
Ephesians 5:21-33, where husbands are called to love their wives as
Christ loved the church and wives are called to respect their husbands.
