Why are women usually excluded from owning immovable property in rural areas?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Existence of patrilineal kinship system
In most regions of India, women are usually excluded from ownership of land, because of the prevailing patrilineal kinship system and mode of inheritance. By law women are supposed to have an equal share of family property. In reality they only have limited rights and some access to land only as part of a household headed by a man.
