Inequalities between men and women have also been age old issues all over the world. Though the status of women in India is undergoing a significant change after a long history of discrimination and subjugation leaving behind the age-old tradition of domestic confinement, gender inequality still persistin the private sphere. The well-known United Nations quote from 1980 is still relevant,” women constitute half of the world’s population and perform nearly two-third of its work hours, but receive one-tenth of the world’s income and less than one- hundredth of the world’s property. This-statistics itself reveals the injustice meted out by women all over the world despite numerous legislations ensuring equality, prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sex, religion, race, caste and place of birth. Gender injustice is highly glaringin the matter of women’s property right all across the globe. This is because their property rights are limited by custom, social norms, legislations which hamper their economic status, opportunities and dignified life in the home. Every society has different norms and values which hinder women to enjoy equality and freedom. Tribal women remain backward due to traditional values, illiteracy, superstitious, social evils and many other cultural factors. Women and their rights regarding property ownership have a crucial and critical role in addressing the gender inequalities that this patriarchal society has long practiced to subjugate women. Women living in the tribal areas of Himachal are deprived of their rights on ancestral property. They are still bound by the old patriarchal laws that allows only men to inherit the property. They cannot inherit property in accordance with the Hindu Succession Act, 1956. There still prevalent ‘Wajib-Ul-Arz” (village level) and ‘Riwaj-i-Am’ (district level) customary law, came into existence in 1926. Even in this century, women in the remote and inaccessible terrain of the Himalayan state inherit only trouble instead of assets after the death of their parents and even husband.
