Nawal, after her husband’s sudden death, faces a critical situation with her daughter. Without a formal agreement on inheritance, the two women and all their possessions become the property of the closest male relative, brother-in-law Rifqi. Man could exercise property rights over the apartment and their persons. The only way for the two women to prevent this is for Nawal to give birth to a son.

Starting from an autobiographical point, the question of property becomes clear, an aspect not much discussed when it comes to women and Islam.
