Mmusi and Others v Ramantele and Another is a 2012 case of the High Court of Botswana in which three sisters disputed their nephew's right to inherit the family home under customary inheritance laws that favoured male descendants.[1][2] The court ruled that these laws were unconstitutional, asserting for the first time the right of Batswana women to inherit property.[2]
