Even after marriage, daughter’s right over the property of father, know what the law says

The government has taken several important steps to promote women’s empowerment in India. Not only the schemes have been launched with the aim of giving women social, economic and family rights, but also important amendments have been made in laws. One of these important topics is the right over the property of the daughter after marriage. Many people have a question in the mind that even after marriage, the daughter gets the right to equality in her father’s property? Let’s know what the law says behind it.

Daughter’s rights remain intact even after marriage

• Under the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, only only the son had authority in the ancestral property.

• This law was amended in 2005, after which the daughters also started getting equal rights in ancestral property.

• This means that even after marriage, the daughter has the same right over the father’s ancestral property as the son.

Different rules on self -property property

• If the father’s property is self-exhaved, that is, he has earned himself in his lifetime, then
  He can give it to anyone by his own will, whether it is a son, a daughter or someone else.

• If the father has given this property to his son, the daughter cannot make a legal claim on it.

Daughter’s right in ancestral property

• The ancestral property is the one that comes from generation to generation and joins the father’s property.

• In such a property, the daughter gets equal rights even after marriage.

• This right cannot be unacceptable unless the property is legally transferred to anyone else.
