Abstract

There has been a general assumption in economies as well as in socio-pollitical field that by giving women formal land right, their survival changes, their economic status and their bargaining power at the family level will be enhanced greatly. However, ethnographic data explicitly shows that in the traditionally patrilineal communities of South Asian women rarely realize the right that contemporary laws have provided them (Agarwal, 1994: 249).
