Description
The primary purpose of this paper is to identify the factors that influence the creation of a gender gap for the right to inherit property. The focus falls on factors such as the legal framework and social norms, where one of these factors has managed to bring stagnation in the social, economic and intellectual development of the entire Kosovo state and mainly appears to affect women to a large extent. A more detailed and in-depth explanation and understanding of why this space is creating and the discrepancy between the legal framework (perfectly drafted) and social norms (terribly wrong) are the main points on which the whole structure of this paper is based. The hypothesis raised in this paper is based on the questionnaire designed by the authors and consists of 10 questions. Questionnaires were chosen for this research because they are a reliable and fast method to efficiently gather information from many respondents. Respondents' attitudes regarding property inheritance contain questions that try to extract data from them what are their attitudes regarding property inheritance in general by focusing more on defining the value system of Kosovar society. This paper concludes that our society has proved that social-traditional norms are significantly stronger than legal ones. The constitution and the Law, in other words, the entire legal framework, provide equal opportunities for men and women in property rights.
