حرمان المرأة من الميراث بين العرف والتنشئة الاجتماعية دراسة ميدانية من وجهة نظر أعضاء هيئة التدريس بكلية التربية الزاوية

Abstract

This study aims to examine the extent to which social norms and socialization contribute to reinforcing the deprivation of women from inheritance. It is based on a field study conducted on a sample of faculty members at the Faculty of Education, University of Zawia. The findings revealed that tribal customs perceive women’s inheritance as a threat to family cohesion, particularly when women are married outside the tribe , On the other hand, the results showed that socialization reinforces these practices, as females are raised to be silent and compliant, while males are instilled with a sense of entitlement and dominance. Participants considered socialization to have a stronger influence than social norms themselves in perpetuating this behavior, The study adopted a descriptive-analytical approach and used a questionnaire to assess participants’ perspectives. The results indicated that societal awareness is still influenced by patriarchal culture, which hinders women’s access to their financial rights, The study recommends strict state intervention to enforce inheritance laws, as well as strengthening the role of educational, religious, and media institutions in raising awareness. It also emphasizes the importance of empowering women intellectually and psychologically, and encouraging them to claim their legitimate rights without fear or hesitation.
