The scholars who have discussed state, rights, citizenship, power, the authority have also discussed overtly or covertly property rights and ownership of women. In the works of ancient to modern political thinkers, we have found different thoughts on property rights. Based on it, we can analyze the position of women on this question in a particular epoch. This paper aims to understand the political thinkers on property ownership and inquire about their thoughts from a feminist perspective. Initially, this paper conceptualized the liberal idea of individual property rights that began with the natural rights theoreticians including Plato, Aristotle, Hegel, Locke, J.S Mill, et al. Later; it discussed the Marxist ideas on property rights of women that began with Marx and Engels. So, to inquire about the genealogy of women's property rights, we took the help of several research studies, books, journals, articles, etc., to develop this paper.

The tribe follows its own culture and tradition in terms of marriage and other customary practices. This study investigates the role of gender in inheritance of property among the Tripuri tribe and how Tripuri women are excluded from ownership of property. It also attempts to discover how property ownership affects their income and position in the household. The study has been conducted in the districts of West Tripura and Dhalai. Focus Group Discussion and interview schedules are employed as methods for collection of data. Results show that while 20 out of 54 married women from rural areas of West Tripura have inherited property, only 2 out of 13 married women have inherited property in the urban area. In comparison with West Tripura, Dhalai features a low ratio among women in inheriting property (only 4 out of 38 married wom...
