    "content": "that then look at these things, I would like to say that the Law of Succession Act was enacted after the recommendations of the 1968 Commission of the Law of Succession. The Act was created to amend, define and consolidate the law relating to interstate and testamentary succession, the discrimination of the estates of the deceased persons. The Act has various provisions that seek to protect and promote the rights of women for which the women of this country are grateful such as permitting us to make wills and that a wife ranks high among the dependents of the deceased husband. A surviving spouse is considered to be the most suitable person to take charge of the deceased husband’s property. Children are allowed to inherit without making any preference to a male or a female child. Those are the progressive aspects of the Law of Succession Act (Cap 160) which are very good. However, despite the progressive provisions, the Act contains discriminatory provisions and lacks key provisions that would better protect the women of this country in terms of land, property and inheritance rights."
