The Meru High Court has declared sections of the Succession Act unconstitutional for denying widows the right to inherited property when they remarry.

Justice Edward Murithi, in a judgement issued on Thursday, found that section 35 (1) (b) and section 36 (1) (b) were unconstitutional in a petition filed by Ripples International.The cited parts of Section 35 and Section 36 of the Act denies a widow the right to the deceased husband's estate if she remarries.
In the petition, Ripples International challenged the constitutionality of sections 32, 35 (1) (b), 36 (1) (b) and 39 (1) (b) of the succession act.

However, Justice Murithi ruled that the petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence to warrant the declaration of section 32 and the adjoining section 33 invalid. Mr Baidoo, a human rights lawyer, said the judgment has opened a new front for legal reforms to ensure the sections are expunged from the Succession Act.
