Should female children share in the family inheritance? (Page 8)

Although, it is necessary to follow our cultures and traditions, female children are also part of the family, so give them what belong to them no matter how small.....

 I  taught the question should be , should a single female share in the family inheritance, cause in some part of Ibo land once you are married, you belong to your husband's family, you will not inheriate anything, but if you're single yes you're still part of the family and should be treated like the men. To me who cares l think everyone should get share cause the man brought all of them into this earth  Brothers and Sisters why is it that when you suggest to any african about writting a WIL, they think you want them dead. if everyone have a WIl, this topic will never be an issue. my people write your WIL now even if the only thing you have is clothings . save your love onces from killing their self after you have gone. SAY NO TO POLYGAMY  IT'S A DISEASE.

We should be talking of "making property" instead of "how to share it". It is the beauty of every woman to answer her husband's name. So, in whose name will the property inherited from father be labelled? The best property a female can get from her father is "good education, nice upbringing and happy marriage to a good man". "The rest na jara"! Africa's wisdom of discouraging women from thinking of inheriting father's property is to make them focus on taking care of their husbands and children. In some cultures in Africa, the first sons of the daughters can be given some of their maternal father's property, including chieftaincy titles. As for the question raised here, it is important for the family members to designate one of the houses as "family house" so that the first wife and her daughters can always use it. In fact, the sons of the second wife should also see their step mother as "their mother" and must take care of her as well. That is the beauty of African family life. Read my article on "Matriarchal  Primogeniture" (Lagos Historical Review, 2009) to see details on some aspects of African inheritance system.

THIS IS VERY SIMPLE IN ISLAM, THE ENHERITANCE WILL BE GIVEN TO BOTH MALE AND FEMALE, EVEN IF SHE IS MARREIED SHE WILL INHERIT HER FATHER AND MOTHER.BUT THE FEMALES WILL GATE HALF OF MALE'S INHERITANCE,AND IF THE SHARING IS IMPOSSIBLE LIKE HOUSES IN THAT CASE THEY WILL SALE THE HOUSES AND SHARE THE MONY.
