Women have no rights to get property after divorce, if they
have ownership of any property they will give proof marriage certificate to
government then they can live in their home, if they have not available
marriage certificate after losing husband then they cannot live in any property
so some people threaten them that evicted property. Women are facing many
hurdles for residents in Zimbabwe. According to women community some government
employee came here and handed us a notice from government that their property
will be stolen and home will be evicted, after husband death all widows have to
face such problems, why we have no rights to live in home and can remain live
in land.
In this video viewers can see that how Zimbabwe tribal people
treat badly with widow women in the country, after their husband death they
have not rights to live in land, they have been given threats of stolen land,
according to human rights report marriage certificate provides them protection
sometime and 70 percent of marriages are made in customary unions and couples
are not registered officially, if anyone have not marriage certificate they can
submit appeal in court for her marriage certificate, however some people.
So they cannot take everything and must fight against
injustice with women so why government do not take action against those people
who are stealing properties illegally and government must register marriages officially,
woman have rights of inheritance after their husband death. It’s bad for
future of children if women have been evacuated from home they will have to
live in open places. Some welfare organization are working in the country and
insist on the issue that after losing husband of women they must provide legal
marriage certificate. Mostly relatives of widow like brothers and sister do not
give inheritance of property to them, they consider it illegal.
