The Punjab government has decided to make administrative committees at the district level for the protection of women rights in inheritance. The committees are being formed to end corruption in the Land Revenue department and ensure the right of inheritance for females. According to sources, the District Enforcement Inheriting Rights Committee (DEIRC) would be headed by district coordination officers (DCOs) and the committees would ensure transmission of properties inherited by women. The committee’s first meeting was presided by DCO Saqib Zafar who approved the initial policy of protection of women’s right to inheritance. According to the policy, verification by two persons and the union council would be necessary for transfer of inherited properties. The B-form issued by the NADRA is also made mandatory for the transfer.
