Author : Dr. Grace Don Nemching and Dr. Mercy Vungthianmuang Guite

Abstract :

It is portrayed generally that the status of women in tribal society is comparatively better than non-tribal women. This paper will examine the status of tribal women with regard to inheritance, property rights and also look into their political role and discuss what the real scenario is whether like the non-tribal women they are also oppressed and dominated in some way or other especially when it comes to inheritance, property and political power or if they indeed enjoy a better status.
