MWPA and Islamic Law of Inheritance

Manish Bansal (Querist) 24 June 2010 This query is : Resolved
Hi

Does Married Women's Property Act, 1874 supersede the Islamic Law of Inheritance. Basically, in case a Muslim man has taken an Insurance policy and registered it under MWPA, then post his death, is the maturity proceed treated as part of his estate and hence, distributed as per the Islamic Law of inheritance or is it treated as an exclusive property of the wife (sole benficiary of the trust created under MWPA) and hence, is not part of the Husband's assets/properties and need not be distributed as per the Islamic Law.
