  • The study identifies patriarchal practices that potentially conflict with gender equality under Article 8 of the Federal Constitution.
  • This analysis employs doctrinal legal methodology supplemented by empirical data from 120 questionnaires and 30 interviews.
  • Engaging with feminist legal thought, the findings support a need for legislative reconciliation between equality and indigenous traditions.
