In Jordan, a webinar calls for bolstering women's inheritance rights
Published 01 Oct,2020 via The Jordan Times AMMAN — Experts and religious leaders have called on women to be vigilant about their inheritance rights and to constantly seek advice and legal support to safeguard their religious rights.
The call came during a webinar session via Zoom, organised by Solidarity Is Global Institute (SIGI), titled: “Depriving Women of inheritance: Alternatives and Solutions”, which is part of the organisation’s "Sanabel 1" project that aims to promote the economic and financial rights of women and girls in Jordan.
“It is of utmost importance for women to constantly educate themselves about their inheritance rights and on what the law and Sharia [Islamic law] stipulates to guarantee that they would not be tricked into waiving their inheritance rights,” said SIGI Executive President Asma Khader.
