== Court case ==
The women of Mary Roy's Syrian Christian community could not inherit property because of the Travancore Succession Act of 1916. Contending this, Mary Roy filed the case against George Isaac, her brother, after the demise of her father P.V. Isaac in 1960. She sued her brother to gain equal access to the inheritance left to them. The lower court at first rejected her plea. The property was divided into two parts - the Kottayam property which was spread over two locales and another at Nattakom grama panchayat. The case was considered a landmark case for the reason it fought for equal property rights for Syrian Christian women.

Mary Roy approached the Kerala High Court in 1994 to get the lower court's judgement overruled. She was successful. After her mother's death in 2000, she approached the Kottayam Sub-court for the final decree. The case continued for 8 years after which she filed the execution petition in 2009, and she finally received the property.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/Final-decree-in-Mary-Roy-case-executed/article15786386.ece|title=Final decree in Mary Roy case executed|last1=Jacob|first1=George|date=2010-10-21|work=The Hindu|access-date=2017-12-16|last2=Jacob|first2=George|language=en-IN|issn=0971-751X}}</ref>
