Abstract

The current study aims to investigate the reasons for depriving women of their inheritance from the point of view of judges and lawyers in the Sharia courts, as well as from the point of view of the Notaries Public in the rural areas of Amran Governorate. To achieve the goal of the study, the descriptive approach was used, and the individual interview was relied upon as a main tool for collecting information, and the research used a random sample of judges, lawyers, and notaries public. Within the study, the judges stated that the main reasons for depriving women of inheritance are due the weak religious deterrent, the Lawyers and notaries public stated that such problem is due to the greed and avarice of some heirs. This study also aimed to clarify the position of sharia regarding the practices that women are subjected to in tribal customs, represented by injustice to their rights, including depriving woman from her inheritance, and that this injustice comes as a result of people’s distance from implementing sharia rules, which has provided justice to women and elevated their status, and has set rules to protect women’s rights against those who violate them unjustly.
