What are the barriers for women in inheriting land? Explain it in terms of the measures taken by the government

As their husbands, fathers, and brothers migrate to cities in search of work, women across India have become the backbone of the country’s agricultural sector.  Today,  after decades of male urban migration, nearly 80 percent of all rural women in India labor in the fields.

A study released Sunday by UN Women India and Landesa, a global NGO working to improve land rights for women and men, finds that despite their time spent working in orchards, cotton fields, and rice paddies, women rarely inherit the land that has sustained them and which they have sustained.

The survey of more than 1,400 women and 360 men in agricultural districts with large numbers of women farmers in three Indian states, Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, and Madhya Pradesh, found that just one in eight women whose parents own agricultural land inherit any of it.

This is the case even though, in 2005 the government of India amended its inheritance laws to ensure daughters enjoyed equal rights to inherit their parent’s land and property.

In fact, the research found that women’s inheritance is so rare that two-thirds of the women surveyed didn’t know of any female who had inherited land from her parents.

One in four women don’t know that they have a right to inherit family land and the overwhelming majority don’t know the basic  details of their legal rights in this regard – for example only 18 percent of women were _______ _____ ________ ________ ___ ______ __________ _________ ___ ________ ______ _______.
