Abstract: Only one fourth of Jordanian women entitled to property inheritance receive it fully. The main reason is that land and property are not formally registered. But this is also due to several strategies to exclude women from inheritance. Social pressure is translated into the “exclusion” (takhāruj) of inheritance rights. This is linked to social norms in favour of male property.
