What is another word for Salic?

Pronunciation: [sˈalɪk] (IPA)

Salic, a term that originates from the Latin word "salicus", is commonly used today to refer to laws or customs that exclude women from inheriting property or titles. Although the word "Salic" itself doesn't possess many recognized synonyms, other phrases can be used to describe similar concepts. Some synonymous expressions include "male-only inheritance laws", "patrilineal succession rules", or even "primogeniture systems", which focus on the eldest male inheriting property or titles. These terms essentially signify the exclusion of women from inheritance and serve to distinguish between gender-based inheritance practices and equal inheritance rights. While the word "Salic" may be specific, its synonyms highlight broader contexts that revolve around gender and property inheritance.
