THE RIGHTS OF GIRLS IN BALINESE LAW, A CRITICAL STUDY

Generally customary law is formulated by men, so certain parts of the law position women in a marginal position, even harming women. This is also evident in the construction of Balinese inheritance customary law, which is not only constructed in patrilineal kinship, but also its implementation is ruled and managed by men. Therefore, all considerations in managing the distribution of inheritance generally follow the "power" of men, who develop projects forget about sisters. This book presents the results of a normative and empirical study in recognizing the inheritance rights of Balinese women. The development of inheritance customary law was also formalized in Bali, which despite the recent Pakraman Village Assembly of the Province of Bali producing a formula that responds to gender, but its implementation has not shown the same spirit.
