How were slaves treated in the Babylonian kingdom?

Slavery arose in Mesopotamia at the end of the 4th millennium BC. The rights of slaves were governed by the laws of Hammurabi. Even a free person could become a slave if he did not pay off his debts. The family members also had to work for the creditor for the debts as slaves. Although slaves were treated as commodities, they had rights. A slave could marry a free woman, own property, and buy freedom. Poor people who could not feed their children threw them in the street to be picked up and made slaves. The slaves were stamped on their shaved heads. In the New Babylonian period, slaves owned the land, cultivated barley, sesame, wheat, flax, mustard.
