No, women were barred
Yes, with some restrictions
No, only eldest sons could succeed
Answer
No, Margareta and her sisters were not legally allowed to succeed to the throne of Romania. The royal constitutions of 1923 and 1938 stipulated that only male members of the royal family could ascend to the throne. This was in keeping with the traditional view of the monarchy as a patriarchal institution, in which women were considered to be subordinate to men.
