This thesis analyzes the inequality women face in the inheritance regime in Ghana. The existing legal framework which includes customary law is fraught with challenges that hinder women from claiming a fair share of their inheritance rights. Existing customary laws conflict with statutory law. Customary law contains aspects that contradict principles of equality espoused in statutory law. Additionally, the court relies on “judicial customary law” which contains old inheritance practices that do not reflect socio-economic changes. Finally, the judiciary in Ghana also uses the repugnancy doctrine in the interpretation and application of customary law. However, the repugnancy doctrine is outdated and constitutes a major hindrance for women in claiming a fair share of their inheritance rights. Drawing on postcolonial theory, intersectional feminism, law and society and sociology of law theories, this dissertation investigates and addresses the injustices associated with women’s rights of inheritance in Ghana. A major goal is to provide viable pathways that will ensure an equitable framework in the sharing of intestate property.

Access to land is crucial for combating discrimination. Women who are denied such access tend to be disadvantaged, a pattern that results in economic powerlessness. Tanzana is among the most undeveloped nations in the world, where gender inequalities with respect to accessing land are central problems. This study consequently aims at investigating women's access to land through customary land tenure in the Makete district in Tanzania. A case study strategy was adopted to address the research problem, whereby interviews, focus group discussions and documentary reviews were the main data collection methods. The findings indicate that the majority of women within villages are illiterate; unaware of any existing entitlements and lacking insufficient assets to fight for their rights, and that their involvement in land administration institutions is limited. At the familiy level, daughters and women are deprived of any right to possess land through inheritance because relatives believe they will be married to other families from which they will then gain access to land. This generally has been proven not to be the case. After marriage, women commonly are apportioned land strictly for crop cultivation (usufruct rights). Consequently, there are many challenges in realising women's property rights in Tanzania. These challenges include the dualisim of the property rights system: customary tenure operates alongside statutory tenure; inadequate knowledge about women's property rights by both women and men; negative attitudes towards women's influence, position, capability and reputation; outdated customs; archaic and conflicting interests in laws; and lack of legal capacity (empowerment) as to property rights. The most important tools for meeting these challenges include education and awareness campaigns that are designed to build the capacity of citizens as to the necessity of equity in access to property rights (land) using various legal tools at varying levels. Other measures include amending and repealing outdated laws, including provisons dicriminating against women's property rights and contradicting constitutional provisons and other international instruments. Other avenues are advocacy and working for behavioural chages can also be invoked by empowering individuals at all stages of life, supporting their involvement in productive activities and creating group networks, and facilitating the formation of community-based organisations as well as building capacity by mainstreaming land adminstration institutions. / <p>QC 20170315</p>
