Abstract

In the quest for property rights, Nigerian women are usually faced with disadvantages. These difficulties are traced to customs and traditions and the lack of judicial activism in Nigeria’s legal system. The crux of the paper is that it explores proprietary rights between men and women. It also examines gender discrimination and obstacles to the realization of equal access to property rights. In addition, from a gender perspective, it provides a discourse on women’s oppression of inequality in socially constructed gender roles. In other words, aside from identifying the mechanisms of female subjugation in respect of proprietary rights, it provides insights into understanding women’s rights by providing legal analysis on the law. This paper also explores cases that have contributed to the transformation of women's equality in terms of access to property.
