Women Inheritance Rights

 Written by: Spogmai Mayar

A woman can inherit rights from her father's family as well as from her husband's family, but as long as her husband is alive, she cannot claim inheritance from her husband's family.

If the husband dies, if the widow does not want to live with her in-laws; can claim her inheritance right, but in different regions of Afghanistan, there are widows who cannot claim the right to their inheritance, and due to this issue; they face many problems. AEPO’s writer/producer has talk to some widows and sociologist about this issue.
