The VPAIS asked women who had ever lost a husb<strong>and</strong> whether they had any property taken away<br />

from them after the death of their husb<strong>and</strong>. Table 8.6 shows that 2 percent of women age 15-49 have been<br />

widowed, <strong>and</strong> of these, 9 percent were dispossessed of property. Because the number of widowed women<br />

is so small, it is not possible to explain with confidence any differentials by socio-demographic<br />

characteristics.<br />
