This sub-index captures social institutions that limit women’s decision-making power and undervalues their status in the household and the family. These formal and informal laws, social norms and practices co-exist in different types of legal systems including civil or common law, customary law, and religious laws and cover areas such as marriage, parental authority, household responsibilities, divorce and inheritance rights. Women’s decision-making power and status in the family determine both their ability to choose their own development pathways and the well-being of their families.
