Abstract

Empowerment is defined as the enhancement of assets and capabilities of diverse individuals and groups to engage, influence and hold accountable the institutions that affect them. Empowering women as a vulnerable group is the critical factor to bring about a transformed and developed country. Denial of equal rights (as men) towards household property is a major challenge in empowering women. There are a number of historical, social, economic and cultural factors that have inhibited, rather, prevented women in India from accessing their parental property like their brothers. In recent years, the government of India has constitutionally tried to provide legal rights to women in the context of family property inheritance.
