The objective of this study is to examine the definition of property rights in Ankpa community. To determine the positions of women with regards to property inheritance in Ankpa community. 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.
The findings revealed that females generally under the Igala traditions are properties themselves to be inherited by any man.Recommendations, such as the amendment of the Igala customary law, in relation to cultural approach to accommodate women’s property inheritance was made.There should also be an attempt on the part of the government to promote gender equality through legislature and other enlightenment programmes.
