Property is universal and the rights to property is a complex weave of culture and economy that overlaps facets of the law and the state. Ownership of property would mean a concrete inalienable, economic and social rights. It would entail exclusivity and usufructuary capacities and thus holds and confers power to the owner thereby enhancing their bargaining power in societies. Effective rights in property is a critical determinant of women's socio economic and political empowerment. This is primarily because ownership and effective control over property means command over productive resources (like land,) and liquefiable assets (like gold and silver), which enables women the ability to bargain and choose the life they wish to lead while providing them the buffer against poverty and deprivation. However, this path to autonomy and self-determination is not well paved as there continues to be an unequal and differential access and control over resources for women and men, especially over productive resources like land.
