In Taiwan, wives are unable to directly or indirectly inherit property from their in-laws due to existing inheritance laws. If the husband and in-laws pass away in the same accident and the wife has no children, the in-laws' property will go to other relatives on the husband's side or to the state if there are no eligible heirs. This issue reflects traditional Taiwanese culture where the husband's family traditionally serves as the main economic source, impacting the wife's inheritance rights. There have been calls for the Taiwanese parliament to amend these laws to protect women's rights and adapt to modern times.
