Access to land and assets on death or divorce are significantly gendered social protection issues and the likely outcome determines behaviour well before the event. Women who perceived that their husbands would get all the assets in a divorce also felt they had less control over their lives. Girls, in households where the women perceive the custody of an asset (land, livestock, or the house) would be given to the husband on a divorce, were more likely to fall behind their cohort in terms of the highest grades obtained (Kumar and Quisumbing 2012). The process requires that the land be registered in the names of both spouses.
