Introduction
Ownership refers to the relationship between a person and the object they own, encompassing all the rights they hold concerning that object. These rights are in rem, meaning they are enforceable against the world at large, not just specific individuals. The concept of ownership is rooted in possession; in early societies, there was no notion of ownership, only possession. The idea of ownership emerged as people began to settle, build homes, and cultivate land.
