Abstract

[This chapter draws on a state level study of the context and experience of inheritance rights for Muslim women. The authors examine how Muslim women in Uttar Pradesh assert land rights individually, notwithstanding structural and socio-cultural barriers and compounded marginalisation due to multiple intersections of gender, religious identities and socio-economic status. Using a livelihoods approach the chapter analyses the processes of dispossession, awareness, access and agency related to land rights for Muslim women in Azamgarh, Uttar Pradesh. The chapter explores the possible ways to strengthen land inheritance for Muslim women through focused and specific interventions by the state and by women’s organisations.]
