Inheritance, Property and Economic Rights

Islam gives women clear rights to inheritance, ownership and independent control of property, yet many women in Pakistan continue to be deprived of these rights through social pressure and family practices. Jamaat-e-Islami supports effective legal and administrative measures to ensure that daughters, sisters, wives and mothers receive their lawful inheritance without delay or coercion. Those who deliberately deprive female heirs of their rights should face meaningful legal consequences, including restrictions on holding public office where appropriate.
