My best friend got kicked out of her house because her dad bequeathed the property to her brother right before he died. One of the flaws of some regions in my country is that a girl doesn't inherit from her father.
Now she's homeless and has nowhere to go. Yesterday I called and told her to stay at my place until the end of summer vacation.
Worse than that, her brother is a lawyer and is supposed to stand for the weak and not against them !!!

What kind of brother does she have? It says in Proverbs 18:24 "One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother." You are that good friend.

That is just sad and horrible. The brother should be helping her. Those money and house won't last long anyways.

Throwing his sister out of the house is a terrible and mean thing to do. That is no way to treat a sister.

I'm very sorry for your friend but you said her father bequeathed his property to her brother's name and again you're saying girls don't inherit from her parents, which means they don't have any right on parent's property.I would like to know which cause make her deprived from her parental property.

@PurnaSharma I know. That's why I said regions and not religion or laws.

Even though he inherited it should fall on his shoulders to care for and protect her.

It's kind of you to offer shelter to your friend. It's sad that the brother doesn't care about his sister

her brother acts as if they don't share the same parents. can she not live with other relatives - grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins?
