Title

Women's Property Right and Gender Gaps under Personal Laws: A Comparative Analysis

Abstract

In India there are no codified or consolidated legal provisions which provide property right to women. It always get determined depending on the religion or faith or religious school to which she belongs, her marital status and her place of birth or based on the place of origin. It also depends upon whether she belongs to tribal group or not. Thus the property matter of every individual including women is regulated by the personal laws which ever is applicable to them. As per Article 15 of Indian Constitution, there should not be any discrimination between men and women in respect of legal rights. But most of these personal laws or customary practices give lesser rights to women in respect of property. In the recent years even though personal laws of Hindus provide equal inheritance rights to female, it is not clear whether it is applicable retrospectively or not. As per Muslim and Christian laws what is the position of women regarding ancestral property? There is no single body of rules which regulate property rights of Indian Women. This Article attempts to identify the different laws which provide inheritance right to female and recent development regarding succession to ancestral property among Hindus, Muslims and Christians.
