I know a family where the daughters took care of their parents more than anyone else.
They were there in sickness, in old age, and even carried most of the family’s financial responsibilities.
But when it was time to share the land, their names disappeared. The excuse? “Nwanyi anaghị ekerịta ala n’ụlọ nna ya.”(A daughter does not share in her father’s land).
This makes me ask: is this part of the culture fair or unfair. Why should it be even like that?
If daughters can carry the weight of family responsibilities, should they not also share in the inheritance?
What do you think?
