Despite the fact that both men and women have equal right to inheritance in terms of Article 1138 of Civil Code, only a few women do benefit from such a gender-neutral regulation. To form a complete set of regulation, four articles of Civil Code have been suggested by lawyers so as to reinforce women’s right to inheritance. The aim of this article is to examine the reason of women’s failure to enjoy the right to inheritance in the legal fields of worldplace, state and community through in-depth interviews and participative observation. Nine in-depth interviews with solicitors, judges, the justice’s clerk and the mediators of the district court and town halls, four in-depth interviews with citizens of Taichung City and County, and participative observation of mediation with reference to the inheritance cases tried in the district court were carried out dating from October 2006 to June 2007. It is found that the traditional concept excluding married women from the membership of natal family, the legal personality and the right to inheritance is so deeply rooted in the society that the effect of four legal suggestions would be very limited. To eliminate the patriarchal ideology fundamentally, women's oppressed experience of being excluded from inheritance, which damage women's right to survival, work and property, should also be included into the discourse of feminist legal theory so as to let law professionals and the public understand how gendered practice of Inheritance Act affect women's lives, and the importance of implementing the gender-neutral Civil Code. Women's right to inheritance should be included into the mainstream agenda of international human rights organizations as well.
