Description and Table of Contents
Description
Himonga describes and analyzes the major developments in succession and family laws since the country's independence and places them against the background of changing social and economic conditions. The operation of the law, its application by the courts and other institutions in the informal sphere, and popular responses to the law are a major focus of the book. The book also attempts a critical analysis of the operation of the law and legal institutions in a pluralistic society.
