Uncover ancient land laws and daily life through early property rules and mortgages. This edition examines how communities managed ownership, tenancy, and transfer of land in archaic societies, revealing the rules that shaped family and village life.
The book surveys terms like the equity of redemption, the otti, and the jenmkar, showing how land could be mortgaged, redeemed, or transferred across generations. It connects legal forms with social practice, explaining why joint tarwad ownership stayed rigid and how individual earnings remained under family control. Along the way, it links historic records to evolving ideas about property, inheritance, and authority in early societies.
Ideal for readers interested in historical law, property rights, and the social texture of ancient economies.
