"An online search using PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases was performed. The snowball method was used to extract other publications. The following keywords were used: Arab/Islamic communities/populations, consanguineous marriage, and consanguinity. Apart from the exception of the Islamic Jurisprudence Council of the Islamic World League in 1990, only studies between 2007 and February 2022, in English with titles and full text, were retrieved" (5). Table 2 shows that consanguinity in Mauritania ranges from 47.20-60% (7). In Mali, which is directly adjacent to Mauritania, cultural similarities may prevail due to lack of significant geographic barriers. (VC CODER COMMENT).

"This legal progress is notable, but in fact women still face major obstacles to accessing land, especially in rural areas where customary norms regarding control and transfer of land still dominate and are patriarchal in nature. These norms generally emphasize that land is the domain of men, and since women cannot perpetuate the patriarchal line, land must be transferred to men. Women generally do not have land rights under Malian customary law, even though they provide over half of the agricultural labor force and produce most of the food to feed their families. One estimate is that only 20 percent of women engaged in agriculture have access to land" (para...more

"The Constitution prohibits gender discrimination and stipulates that all citizens have the right to own land. The Land Code and the Agricultural Orientation Law both contain strong statements in support of women’s rights to land and equitable access to land. The 2017 Agricultural Land Law even requires that, in an attempt to break tradition, at least 15 percent of land in developed areas (e.g., irrigated land) under control of the state or territorial collectives is required to be allocated to associations of women and youth" (para 50).

"In rural Mali, land continues to be a basic means of subsistence, and is still mostly held and transferred according to customary norms. Male heads of groups or male heads of individual families allocate land to users in one of the following ways: lease; pledge; loan; and inheritance when the male head dies. Sales do not take place in this environment. The 2017 Agricultural Land Law provides for the documentation of customary rights by creating a new type of document: the customary land certificate (attestation de detention cotumière). This certificate can be registered in the new commune-level register of land possession. (World Bank 2008; Camara 2015; GOM 2017b). Inheritance usually...more

"Finally, the Constitution states that every Malian 'shall be free and equal in rights and obligations,' and prohibits discrimination based on sex (art. 2). This gives a strong constitutional foundation for women’s rights to land" (para 26). "The law also establishes a legal right for rural communities to collectively own some lands and manage them in accordance with their customary practices as they see fit. In many ways, this law is an acknowledgment of the continued prevalence of customary control of rural land, no matter what formal laws establish" (para 33).
