ZAMBIA: Landmark judgment for women in customary marriages
Lusaka, Zambia - A precedent setting ruling earlier this month by a local court in Zambia has given women married under customary law the right to a share of marital property in the event of a divorce or death of the husband.
Previously, a woman married under customary law would not be entitled to a share of property, irrespective of whether she had contributed to its acquisition.
