This study investigates the disparity between legal property rights for women in Muslim societies and their actual exercise in Bangladesh. The research examines the socio-legal landscape of Bangladesh, where the majority population adheres to Muslim traditions, yet the established Islamic property rights for women are often not implemented. It challenges the common assumption that these rights are inherently limited by Islamic law, exploring instead the societal and familial structures that impede women's agency and their understanding of these rights. The core objective is to illuminate the changing status of women's property rights and to foster a deeper comprehension of women's awareness regarding Islamic property law.

This study offers a critical examination of women's property rights in Bangladesh, focusing on the gap between legal provisions and societal practice within Muslim communities. It highlights how traditional views and social structures can lead to women relinquishing their rights, thereby exacerbating poverty and limiting their participation in household decision-making. The research aims to provide a clearer understanding of the complex interplay between Islamic law, cultural norms, and women's economic empowerment in the region. The findings suggest a need for greater awareness and enforcement of existing legal frameworks to improve the status of women.
