"Legal experts say that non-specification of the wording 'acquired through work during the marriage' leads judges to qualify it in terms of monetary income. Beka points out that Law on Family was not adapted to the needs and wellbeing of citizens. 'Article 47 of the Law on Family talks about "Joint Property" without specifying clearly which spousal contributions are those that make up their joint property,' Beka says. 'During judicial procedures it has been misinterpreted, which has ended up bringing about unfair rulings.' Luljeta Demolli, executive director of the Kosovar Gender Studies Center, agrees that the current Law on Family doesn’t sufficiently recognize the principles of equality in marriage in...more

"The division of property between former spouses or partners is currently supposed to be carried out on an equal basis — at least on paper. Kosovo’s Constitution prevents discrimination through special articles and the adoption of international conventions, instruments that technically supercede specific articles of particular laws" (para 6).

"The law provides the same legal status and rights for women and men. The law requires equal pay for equivalent work. The law stipulates that partners in marriage and civil unions have equal rights to own and inherit property, but men usually inherited family property and other assets. In rare instances Kosovo-Albanian widows, particularly in rural areas, risked losing custody of their children due to a family custom requiring children and property to pass to the deceased father’s family while the widow returned to her birth family" (28-29).

"There are only a few of us women here in Kosovo who own property. The reasons are many: Some of us are not employed and do not have enough capital to purchase any property, so inheritance remains the only way to obtain it. Some have not inherited anything. Some of us adhere to patriarchal traditions regarding the role of women in society, and we choose to renounce our inheritance in favor of male heirs in the family. The final result is that women in Kosovo own a disproportionately small share of property. But the situation is slowly changing. Rina Shabani, 17, is a high school student and a member of...more

"I returned to Kosovo for the first time in eight years this last summer and I was bombarded with questions that were exclusively about how the search for a partner was going. And if needed, my relatives informed me, they would look for an Albanian girl for me.
