To ascertain the extent to which property as defined by Igala customary laws has effected the socio-economic development of women, and to recommend ways of tackling the issue.Data was collected from one source which is the primary through the use of questionnaire: sample for this research was one hundred (100) people, which was gotten through the simple random sampling technique.
