Hindu women in India have independent right of ownership to
property under the Law of Succession (The Hindu Succession Act,
1956). However, during the last five decades of its operation not
many women have exercised their rights under the enactment. This
volume addresses the issue of Hindu peasant women's ability to
effectuate the statutory rights to succession and assert ownership
of their share in family land. The work combines a critical
evaluation of law with economic analyses into allocation of
resources within the family as a means of addressing gender
relations and explaining resulting gender inequalities.
