| An insightful lecture on the Muslim Law of Inheritance, delivered by Prof. Sarsu Thomas, Director of Manipal Law School, addressed critical issues within personal law. Prof. Thomas highlighted the limitations of the current legal framework, which only recognises male and female categories, raising concerns about inheritance rights for transgender individuals in cases of intestate succession. The talk also explored the impact of British-imposed universal laws on Indigenous legal systems, the authority over personal law legislation, the evolution of women’s property rights, and the implications of the Uniform Civil Code on inheritance and conversion. |
