(Manisha Mahar, Intern Journalist); the Supreme Court has given a big decision in favor of women. The court has said that in the property of the father’s paternal father, the daughter has equal rights as the son, not even a little less. He said that the daughter becomes equal in the father’s property with birth. A three-judge bench of the country’s highest court today made it clear that even if the father had died before the Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act, 2005, daughters would still have rights over the parents’ property.
The Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act, 2005 has come into force in the country from 9 September 2005. This means that even if the father had died before September 9, 2005, the daughters would still have rights over the ancestral property. A three-judge bench headed by Justice Arun Mishra delivered the important verdict. Justice Mishra read the verdict, saying, “Daughters have to be given equal rights as sons because the daughter lives close to her whole life.” The daughter will remain our hier, whether the father is alive or not.
