继承男女平权——法律与习俗之间

Statue and Convention whether Equality of Inheritance between Sexes

中国继承法是一个历史范畴。从初民社会的血族继承到封建社会的宗亲继承,再到现当代社会的近亲属继承,改变了男性优于女性的继承特权,彰显着继承制度由性别排挤向性别平等的努力。但是2010年全国及北京市妇女社会地位调查显示,民众对男女平等继承的态度折射了一个关键问题,即我国法律规定与传统习俗的冲突。通过反思父权文化遗留的负面效应,厘清继承习俗的顽固性和国家制定法的冲突,揭示当下落后的现实与法律制度的矛盾,以期探寻女性继承权与男性平等的路径。
