Concept of Property, its
evolution during different
stages of human civilisation
Different stages of human civilisation
During each stage of development, the concept of social organisation,
structure of society, religious beliefs, culture and tradition, concept of
marriage and family, type of habitation, the nature of property and
rules of its devolution, etc. change.
While there are multiple variations of each stage depending upon
region, and social evolution. there are some broad common
characteristics which can be attributed to each stage of development.
● Inheritance by survivorship
● To step into the shoes of her deceased husband until her death
● This statement does not reflect ground reality. It is the son who continues to
reside with his parents, while the daughter, after her marriage, leaves her
natal home and goes to her matrimonial home. She is seldom accepted as
part of her natal family.
● This comment reinforces the existing stereotypical view that women are
their worst enemies or that women are manipulators. This only goes to
show that even progressive judges tend to have a superficial notion of
gender equality.
If the daughter is deprived of her coparcenary
rights can it be construed as domestic
violence?
