interviews. The data was analyzed by using thematic technique.
The result shows although states law and Shariah law have clearly
mentioned inheritance share of women. However, in reality

They are not granted their due share due to strong patriarchal
values, cultural customs deeply embedded in social system of the
region, complicated legal system and bad governance of
government institutions with reference to implementation of laws.
Even if women wants to empower herself, through this familial
right, these constraints, are producing hurdles in her way in the
region. Education, awareness, along with implementation of laws
and policies is recommended.
