Property Rights: Usually people lack information about the rules and laws related to property. In this connection, today we will tell you in this news whether married daughters can claim their father’s property or not-
Even today, some people in India consider the society to be male dominated, where centuries-old traditions are deeply rooted in families. Generally, only sons are considered to have the right over their father’s property, and this practice has been going on for generations. It has been seen for centuries that the father’s property is divided only among the sons, while daughters do not get a share in their 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 daughters’ rights on father’s property-
According to the Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act, 2005 of India, daughters have equal rights as sons on father’s property, whether the daughter is unmarried or married. This means that married daughters can also claim an equal share in the father’s property. If a person has a son and a daughter, the daughter can claim half of his property i.e. a share equal to that of her brother. This amendment provides equal rights to daughters in ancestral property.
If this happens then daughters cannot claim their 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 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 the Hindu religion has equal shares in her father’s property right from her birth. This rule applies to Hindu religion as well as Buddhist, Sikh, Jain society.
