ABSTRACT
Women make up more than the total population of the world. These women were neglected in all societies. The history of this woman's acquisition of wealth is a history of extreme brutality. In different religions of the world women's share of inheritance is provided differently. In certain scenarios, men may receive a larger share, while in others; women may be entitled to more. However, in essence, there is no inherent inequality. Allah has created both men and women, and He is omniscient and all-wise. He has ordained what is beneficial for each. A comparative discussion of how the inheritance of women is provided in the major scriptures of the world is attempted in the discussion article; and the confusions created by the so-called women progressives about the inheritance of women in Islam have been adequately answered.
Keywords: Women, Economic, Development, Empowerment, Global religions, Rights, and Philosophy.
