Mmusi and Others v Ramantele and Another
''Mmusi and Others v Ramantele and Another'' is a 2012 case of the High Court of Botswana in which three sisters disputed their nephew's right to inherit the family home under customary inheritance laws that favoured male descendants.〔 The court ruled that these laws were unconstitutional, asserting for the first time the right of Batswana women to inherit property.
== Background ==
In 2012, Botswana's gender gap was below the global average.〔 Considered an "example to the region", the country had been home to several of southern Africa's most powerful women, including a parliamentary speaker, an attorney general, and a judge, Unity Dow. However, it is also governed by a dual legal system consisting of the government's civil courts and traditional customary courts, the latter found primarily in rural areas. The customary courts had traditionally upheld the principle of "assumed male inheritance".〔
The customary law in question, that of the Ngwaketse tribe, dictated that the family home of a deceased individual was to be reserved to the last born male child. The rest of the property was to be divided among the children, regardless of gender.〔
