| if it was left up to me, islam and christianity would be thrown out of this discussion. whether a woman inherits or not seems like a small issue, but its small issues like this that cripple africa because so many people are affected by it. too much is placed on african women's shoulders while our men sit around and drink ataya and its definitely not only in Gambia. you can't have the group that's mostly oppressed doing all the work, it doesn't make any sense. |

that's my main point, a family, city, country and whole continent can't rest on the shoulders of one sex, especially the sex that is oppressed while the men stand around and scratch their behinds. i'm serious, when it comes to taking care of their women and families, most african men lag behind. they're more a burden to their women than they are a source of comfort |

| we're not perfect, but we contribute more to african society than our men do in terms of labor and everything else. we work, care for the household, care for the children, settle disputes and do everything else while yall sit around and talk about the dog singing or the cat dancing, complete nonsense. |

I don't understand your position. We are discussing issues affecting a given society. It could be from standpoints of old archaic customary laws, common law, equity,religious doctrines and modern human rights activism. The conflicts of interests are part of the sum total of this issue of inheritence . Don't you agree Kassama or clarify your position please |

Sisters,
I want to give you people the benifit of the doubt. As you people are with your love ones, You can demand a will that states that upon your death, your partner should inheret you. Then nothing shall alter it if not you and your love one. I am still young and married. My wife and I has already done the document. If we divorce we shall share everything in the middle. I think you sisters stand a better chance that our grandmothers and mothers did. You are empowered with you education and skills. I think generation change would bring a better way of inheritance. The era of the men in controll of everything is soon coming to an end.
One more thing, I hope your sisters in politics also demand full rights of the outcome of the elections.

the tradition probably comes from the fact that a woman goes back to her father's house after the death of her husband but this is the 21st century, really women are not trying to depend on nobody but these old old custom always seems to find a way to harm us the most in the end. my point is there should be a change, but as usually, since this deals with tradition, everything is in the man's hands to bring about change. its easy to state here that women should just make their husbands make a will, but lets be honest here, this is africa we're talking about. even though yall think women can do everything, women in most african societies are not respected and their husband's words are law, yes there are educated african women out there that take no nonsense, especially from men, but the majority of us are still victims of tradition. a man is not going to make a will if its going to cause tension between him and his relatives, especially if someone is on him all day everyday that he shouldn't do or that he shouldn't let a woman tell him what to do. common yall, stop acting like yall don't how africa really is, especially the condition of your women folk |
