Inheritance by Gender

Mishna: A man passed away and left sons and daughters. If the inheritance is large, the sons inherit and the daughters must be taken care of from the inheritance. If the inheritance is small, the daughters must be taken care of, and the sons should go begging. (Ktubot 108b).

Not very modern (actually, it's about 2000 years prior to modernity), but interesting.

This thread began here.
