Highlights of Secondary Research Methods
  • Open Source Research
  • Tracking official announcements in local
    newspapers to understand key trends
  • Finding relevant journal articles on womens
    rights in the Middle East
  • Obtaining Department of Lands and Survey (DLS)
    brochures and key presentations
  • Locating high value books about Jordans
    society, land, and culture
  • Researching local academic library collections
    for relevant materials

Highlights of Secondary Research Methods
  • Primary observations identified complex issues
  • Womens highly unequal ownership of land
  • Womens stake in kin solidarity and support
  • Kin pressure
  • Land entitlements
  • Islamic laws of succession
  • Based on the idea of obligatory heirs
  • Fixed and fair order of shares of inheritance -
    women generally inherit only half of a male
    portion.

    land are indicators of land ownership issues

Conclusions
  • Grey Literature was essential to understand the
    complex variables at work in Jordanian society
    The Triangle God, the King, and the State.
  • Jordanians will not criticize the Triangle
    publicly
  • Secondary grey sources from primary research
    provided key insights into the Triangle.
  • Cultural, religious, and societal influence into
    womens decisions
  • Theoretically women have the same rights as men
    under Jordanian law however, in reality, social
    customs and practice often dictate otherwise.
  • Principles vs Practice
