ميراث المرأة القبائلية بين خضوعها لأعراف وتقاليد المجتمع والحاجة المادية

Abstract EN

Social life in the Algerian countryside is characterized by its submission to society laws and traditions, it imposes as a kind of social control, especially over women.

we find many families controlling women’s property, and do not allow her to dispose of it, out of their belief that the husband’s benefit from the inheritance causes danger to the family.

this is why the inheritance creates a conflict between brothers and sisters.

with the emergence of social changes in Algeria, women defend their right to inheritance, which they were denied for many years according to the law of traditions and customs in society.

women's influence on social changes allowed them to change their status in society for the better, and this coincided with changing the family law, which emphasized women's legitimate right to inheritance, and the religious texts were clear on this point.

in addition, the woman's financial need, especially after marriage and having children, makes her search for material share, and benefit from it.

this study aims to shed light of women who demanded their right to inheritance and who did not benefit from it for many years out of respect the community’s law and to preserve family relations.

but financial need pushed them to search their rights.
