Times have changed, the thinking has changed, but despite this, there are still many daughters who do not get their rights. In India, many laws have been made in favor of daughters, but due to a lack of knowledge, daughters are not able to raise their voice. But today we will know here whether married daughters can claim their father’s property.
What is the law regarding daughters’ rights on father’s property?
According to the Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act 2005 of the Indian Constitution, daughters have the same right to a father’s property as sons. It doesn’t matter if the daughter is virgin or married. This means that married daughters can also claim an equal share of 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., her brother’s equal share in the property.
If this happens, daughters cannot claim father’s property
But in this case, there is a situation where the daughter cannot claim her father’s property. According to the law, if a person does not include the daughter’s name in the will before her death, then in such a situation the daughter cannot claim her father’s property. According to a Supreme Court order, a girl born in Hinduism has an equal share in her father’s property from the moment she is born. This rule applies to Hinduism as well as Buddhist, Sikh, and Jain society.
