“Haq Tyag” Tradition Still Prevails In India

Haq Tyag is that archaic ritual that compels a young woman, who is going to get married, to sign a contractual paper through which she abandons her share in her father’s assets. Even after the Indian court making it mandatory for girls to have a fair share in maternal possessions more than a decade ago, this practice is still prevalent in some northern states.
