@@hopemosher7110 this is Roman law he is talking about.. In European Universities Roman law is a course in law school, not history. But in US I dont know; anything is possible tbh
Qestion: if a woman married to someone her father had right to make them divorce and give her to an another man? Because e. g. Cicero(?) or Augustus did it sometimes...
Yup, the paterfamilas had the power to control all of his children. This means that often the daughter was married to whoever her father approved of and could be forced to divorce him if her father told her to do. Daughters that were from more higher up families often were used for political alliances, so people married off their children for power. If said family had no more political power than before, then the paterfamilias may choose to divorce his daughter to marry off to another man from a more higher political status. Families of lower classes often did not marry for power, rather it's just the fact of approval from the father rather than what comes out from the two.

why is a law professor talking about this and not a classical professor?
I would assume it is because it is talking about the laws of the family. Like how much power the father has over his kids (specifically daughters)
