Daughter Property Rights - Generally people lack information about the rules and laws related to property. In this connection, today we are going to tell you in this news whether a married daughter can claim her father's property or not.... Let us know the legal provision related to this in the news below-
News, Digital Desk- (Daughter Property Rights) Even today there is a class in India that considers society to be male dominated, and many families follow this old tradition.
Generally, only sons are considered to have the right over their father's property, while daughters do not get a share in it. However, Indian law does not accept this old practice. Today in this news we will know whether married daughters can claim their father's property? (property rights)
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 equal rights as sons in their father's property, whether they are single or married.
This means that married daughters can also claim an equal share in their father's property. If a person has a son and a daughter, the daughter can claim half of his property, i.e. she will get the same share as her brother.
If this happens then daughters cannot claim their father's property-
Under Hindu law, a daughter is entitled to an equal share in her father's property from birth. This rule applies to Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh and Jain religions.
However, there is an important exception: if the father does not include the daughter's name in his will before his death, the daughter cannot claim the property. This legal provision gives the father the right to dispose of his property, even if a Supreme Court order allows a share from birth.
