1. In his discussion of legal women's property rights in Africa, Joireman notes that , "Women [in Africa] are not supposed to own property but rather,under customary law, they are property." Based on our previous class readings and your prior knowledge, do you agree with this statement? Why or why not?
2. Joireman also argues that women "may be worse off economically in systems of formally titled land than under a customary land holding system where at least their use rights are acknowledged by the community." Do you think this is true? Why or why note?
4. Hessini notes that in a number of MENA countries abortion is legally allowed or allowed by fatawa in cases of fetal impairment in the first trimester. Is this discrimination against disability?
