Women’s property rights are property and inheritance rights enjoyed by women as a category within society at any point in time. The patterns and rights of property ownership vary between societies and are influenced by cultural, racial, political, and legal factors. The right has given to this class very late and in even now Middle East and North Africa and South Asia are the regions with most restrictive laws, particularly in inheritance. Voting right and Property right are like the two things that class apart men and women. Due to feminist movement all around the world voting and property right were given and it’s our duty to protect their right as many a place such rights are only in law book and with no practical usage.
