Book Description
Scientific Essay from the year 2014 in the subject Sociology - Social System and Social Structure, , language: English, abstract: From time immemorial, women have suffered greatly and disproportionately in comparison to their male counterpart. Most societies have been essentially patriarchal but in no area of political, social and religious life has the despicable plight of women been more conspicuously noticeable than in the aspect of inheritance. Over time, concrete efforts have been made in the Western world to stem this tide, while African societies, on the other hand, have not recorded much achievement in this area. National constitutions of African and other developing countries tend to prohibit discriminations against women in property inheritance, yet discriminatory traditional and customary practices persist. International treaties are merely ratified by these countries without committed implementation. This paper is posed to interrogate existing practices and laws in African and developing societies regarding the right of women to inherit property on the same footing as men in the light of developments in the Western world. At the end, recommendations are proffered so that those countries of the world which are lagging behind in treating women appropriately may have a second thought.

Law governing woman rights in African countries is a complex framework that requires exploration. For instance, women inheritance law governing some parts of Nigeria gives little or no right for women to claim ownership of their deceased husband which pose risk on the mental, emotional and social well-being of such women. There has been several books written as a result of many cases of women suffering after the death of their husband in African. Thus, this book is an examination of women's rights of inheritance in Nigeria and in comparison with that Botswana, Zambia and Ghana. Different cases, treaties were investigated to back of the claim in this book. It took a little bit of traveling to get the fact right which implies that this book is not one of the online copy and paste work.

All information in this book are original and no part was fabricated. I hope this book answers your questions concerning women's inheritance law practices in Some African countries.
