WBL: Legal Framework, Marriage, The law allows a woman to be head of household or head of family in the same way as a man

Wereldbankvia Wereldbank-indicatoren · updated 14 October 2026

What's in it

The indicator assesses whether: (1) the law does not designate the husband as the “head of household” or the “head of family” or stipulates that the husband leads the family; AND (2) the husband is not by default the family member who receives the family book or an equivalent document that is required to access services and benefits; AND (3) the family law, civil law, or personal status law does not place any restrictions on women to be considered as “head of household” or “head of family. Differences under tax law are not considered under this indicator. Score = 1 if all three conditions are met; otherwise, score = 0.
