Pakistani women denied inheritance despite legal protections
Original: Pakistan’s law protects women’s right to inherit. Custom still takes it away.
Pakistani law explicitly grants women the right to inherit property, but in practice customary practices frequently deprive them of that entitlement. Writing on OpenGlobalRights, commentators argue that deep-rooted social norms, family pressure and weak enforcement allow the legal guarantees to be ignored, particularly in rural areas. Rights advocates are calling for stronger implementation of inheritance laws and greater accountability when women are cheated of their share.
Why now: Ongoing concern among human rights advocates that entrenched customs undermine Pakistan's inheritance laws for women
