Pressure mounts on State govt. as women’s panel submits summary of proposed inheritance Bill
A proposed Bill seeking equal rights to property for women in Arunachal Pradesh has refreshed the demand for a policy to safeguard the indigenous communities from children of non-locals “fraudulently availing rights” in the name of the State’s Scheduled Tribes. The Arunachal Pradesh State Commission for Women on August 23 said it had submitted a draft proposal for the Arunachal Pradesh Marriage and Inheritance of Property Bill, 2021. “We have received memorandums from various organisations to scrap two sections of the draft proposal. It is now up to the State government to take a call,” the panel said in a statement. The clauses pertain to the movable and immovable property enjoyed by an Arunachal Pradesh Scheduled Tribe (APST) woman married to a non-APST man.
