No meaningful discussion of the future of African indigenous law can occur without a discussion of patriarchy and gender equality generally, and how access to indigenous land tenure has turned out as African states privatised indigenous land tenure of which women should, as of right, be part of. This chapter engages with gender equality through a thematic discussion of women’s access to indigenous land tenure in several African states. These issues include constitutional and statutory recognition of equality in spousal property and women’s membership in indigenous land management fora.
