the law governing Muslims and Muslim women in India is under The Muslim Personal Law (Shariat) Application Act, 1937. The Shariat is regarded as the Custom or Usage for the purposes of division of all properties, except agricultural land. In the earlier times Muslims were governed by the local customs, laws and practices where they were domiciled which ran contrary to the Shariat in following the local customs and laws. The customary laws were highly discriminatory and it excluded daughters and others like widow were in the bottom line in the succession order, this practice runs contrary to the Shariat where a daughter and widow cannot be excluded by any other heir and also have the protection from the testamentary restrictions. The shares of the daughters and widows are lower than a man.
