| Abstract | "I have lived with unreasonable discrimination against women in my village ever since I was young," said Miss Cheng Lai Sheung of Ma Tin Tsuen, Yuen Long. Miss Cheng's experiences underscore a heated debate in the New Territories today regarding a proposal to give equal inheritance rights to women. The old rule, which is still in effect, is that only males can inherit family property. |
