Abstract
Women's prope11y rights for a long time have been violated because of many factors
including patriarchy. This is where men dominate all the affairs of the society and
woman are left to watch things happen even when they are the ones who participate
more but earns less. The gender stereotypes where women are seen as a weaker sex and
they are made to believe that whatever the society thinks of tern is true and live by it.
The researcher looked at the rights of women to own property in marriage as provided
for in the international instruments and the municipal laws as well as their
implementations.
This research explores the extent to which the laws have protected women's rights to
own property during marriage and the implementation therefore obstacles that women
face while trying to achieve their rights to own property and ways of eliminating these
obstacles.
The researcher used primary and secondary method of data collection. Under primary
method questionnaires and interviews and under secondary method were published and
unpublished articles. The researcher came out with 56% of the married women do not
do own property. With 24% of women do not do own property long before this time
women did not own property, with 24% in Kamwokya already realizing this right am
sure the rest of the country will soon have the full right to own property and the
advocacy to do away with the stereotypes that women cannot own property because
they are weak is extensively done.
