| Summary, etc | After 29 years of marriage, a Muslim couple from Kasaragod remarried under the Special Marriage Act in 2023 to secure their daughters’ property rights, sparking public debate on Muslim Personal Law and the Uniform Civil Code. Under Muslim law, daughters inherit only part of their father’s property, with the remainder going to male relatives. The article examines the intersections of Muslim personal law, family, and property rights in Kerala. It traces how colonial legal legacies shaped Muslim entrepreneurial practices and social mobility. The succession strategies draw attention to a process of judicial harmonisation between different legal orders—a key feature of state-enforced religion-based family law in India. –Reproduced https://www.epw.in/journal/2026/7/commentary/muslim-personal-law-inheritance-and-innovation.html |
