[Refer to TB page 143 Q4] A. 1) Daughters are not given equal share of the property of the parents because in our country most resources like land and factories are in the name of men and differences are made by our society which tries to subordinate women to men and treat them in equally. 2) From their very birth, girls and boys are brought up according to the discriminatory ideas. This difference leads to inequality and discrimination or gender differences. 3) For hundreds of years, we have been living in a social order which favours men and they have control over all resources and right to make rules. 4) The rules are made in such a way that women were assigned a subordinate role to men and were controlled by them just like the land or cattle. 5) The property of parents should be divided equally among sons and daughters.
