Challenges facing children born out of wedlock in relation to right to inheritance cut across the whole world and eventually the world has witnessed different movements towards protection of their rights. These children were not afforded any right from their biological further since they were regarded to be conceived in adulterous acts. Nowadays changes are happening they are afforded many rights without considering the status of their birth. These rights include right to education, right to play, right to social security, right to adequate standard of living, right to access information and right to inheritance just to mention few. Discrepancies come on the implementation of right to inheritance as the same has been subjected to religious belief of the father particularly in Tanzania. In complying with international obligation, Tanzania as state has done many things towards the prevention of discrimination against children born out of wedlock on birth status. Tanzania gave its concerns by ratifying several conventions, treaties and enacting the Law of the Child Act of 2009 to ensure children’s rights are protected. It is through this Act any person is prohibited from depriving a child a reasonable enjoyment out of the estate of the parents. As far as children born out of wedlock are concerned, right to inheritance is subjected to religious belief of the father. Through findings it has been noticed that, no any religion that offer right to inheritance to children born out of wedlock. This is a controversial issue which challenges not only implementations of international conventions and treaties instruments but also hinders fully enjoyment of right to property of children born out of wedlock. For the moment we have contradicting court`s decisions regarding this issue which lead to controversial jurisprudence in Tanzania. As such something of worth has to be done to rescue this situation facing children born out of wedlock when it comes to right to inheritance Private 2024-08-23T09:27:22Z 2024-08-23T09:27:22Z 2017 Thesis APA https://scholar.mzumbe.ac.tz/handle/123456789/1089 en application/pdf Mzumbe University |
