Property Laws: According to an order of the Supreme Court, a girl born in the Hindu religion has an equal share in her father’s property from the time of her birth. This rule applies to Buddhist, Sikh, Jain communities as well as Hindus.
Property Laws: A section of the society still considers India to be a male-dominated country. A common family of the country is also following this tradition which has been going on for centuries. Generally, it is seen in a normal family that only sons have the right over the father’s property. It has been seen for centuries that the father’s property is divided among the sons only, while daughters do not get a share in the father’s property. But the law of the country does not believe in this tradition at all. Today we will know here whether married daughters can claim their father’s property?
What is the law regarding the rights of daughters on father’s property
According to the Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act 2005 of the Indian Constitution, daughters have the same right and authority over a father’s property as sons have. It does not matter whether the daughter is unmarried or married. This simply means that married daughters can also claim an equal share in their father’s property. If a person has a son and a daughter, then the daughter can claim half of her father’s property i.e. an equal share in the property as her brother.
If this happens, daughters cannot claim their father’s property
But in this case, there is a situation where a daughter cannot claim her father’s property. According to the law, if a person does not include the daughter’s name in his will before his death, then in such a situation the daughter cannot claim her father’s property. According to an order of the Supreme Court, a girl born in Hinduism has an equal share in her father’s property right from her birth. This rule applies to Hinduism as well as Buddhist, Sikh, Jain society.
