民国南京政府时期的女性财产继承权问题

On Women's Property Right During the Nanjing Government Period

女性财产继承权是女性权利的核心问题。在1926年以前,女性一般没有财产继承权,女儿只有获得妆奁或父母赠与的权利;妻子只有夫故后,代幼子管理财产的权利。南京民国政府时期,经过各方努力,女性终于获得了相当的财产继承权。不过,法律规定与社会现实必然有相当的距离,如果社会经济状况和社会风俗没有发生根本改变,女性往往无法享有法律所规定的权利。

Property right is the key issue of women＇s right. Before 1926, the main way for a daughter to get property from her father was her dowry or parent＇s bestowal. A widow had no fight to inherit the property of her late husband. She only had the right to manage and keep her youngest son＇ s property. During the Nanjing government period, women gained their property right to a great extent through various struggles. However, there was a gap between law and reality;it was difficult for women to enjoy their rights granted by law, as long as the economic situation and customs of a society did not change foundamentally.
