Abstract
Regulation of Muslim inheritance directly emanates from Koran which grants women a place in succession. However, in North Africa, these rules have had to coexist with various Berber customs which, almost unanimously, have tried to prevent or to hamper women’s access to land property with the aim of preserving the estate in the male line. Although current national legal systems, based on Islamic laws, recognise the right of women to inherit, gender equality in succession matters is far from being achieved.
