Despite all the long strides towards women's rights to property and inheritance in India, there still exist challenges that need to be addressed. Discuss.

According to NFHS 2015-16 only 40% of women have land titles in their name, highlighting challenges in women's right to property rights.

CHALLENGES IN WOMEN'S RIGHT TO PROPERTY:

PATRIARCHAL MINDSET - this gives rise to societal thought such as SON METAPREFERENCE and is a leading cause of women's being denied of property rights

LACK OF EDUCATION - women are not aware of their rights and thus don't fully utilise their rights

PATRIINEAL HERITAGE - wherein the law carries the name of the family

and women to seem as an outsider.

Though there have been several strides towards women empowerment in field of land titles and inheritance such as HINDU SUCCESSION ACT, HINDU MARRIAGE ACT, several pointers wherein intentions are given to the land titles / plot in the name of women, the behavioural shift of the society will take a long and persistent effort to shift.
