In a landmark ruling, the Supreme Court of Pakistan upheld a woman’s right to her share of family property, reinforcing Quranic law and women’s inheritance rights.
The court ruled in favor of the woman, who had been denied her rightful portion by her brother, affirming her legal claim after reviewing evidence and inheritance provisions. Legal experts welcomed the verdict as a crucial step toward ending discrimination against women in property disputes.
The judgment is expected to empower women across Pakistan to assert their inheritance rights, making it clear that the judiciary stands firmly behind women’s constitutional and legal entitlements.
Despite clear guarantees under Islamic law and Pakistan’s legal framework, many women in the country are still deprived of their property rights due to cultural pressures, lack of awareness, and family resistance—leaving them economically vulnerable.
This ruling sets a precedent that strengthens women’s position and sends a strong message against practices that contradict both the Quran and the law.
