i) The daughter is also entitled to the father’s property Last
year in August , the Supreme Court ruled that the daughter has the same right to the father’s property as the son. According to the Hindu Amendment Act 2005, whether the daughter’s father is alive or not, the daughter has the same property rights as the son in a Hindu Undivided Family (HUF).
ii) Marriage does not affect the property rights of ancestors-
According to the 2005 amendment, a daughter becomes a co-heiress upon birth. Now the daughter’s marriage does not change her right to the father’s property. This means that the daughter is entitled to the father’s assets even after marriage.
iii) Compassionate daughters get jobs
Daughters also have the right to work after the sudden death of their father. The marital status of the woman is irrelevant. The Madras Supreme Court ruled in its landmark 2015 ruling that a married daughter is entitled to work even if the father dies at work.
iv) Simple alimony payments for women
SC issued guidance to courts across the country on alimony and alimony on November 4, 2020. When a woman applies for maintenance, she must state the amount of her assets and the expenses. The husband must then provide information about his assets and liabilities. The maintenance obligation begins on the day of the complaint.
v) If the father doesn’t write a will
If the father dies before the will is drawn up, all legal heirs have equal rights to his assets. After the death of the first person before the drafting of the will, the first class of heirs has the first right to their property. This includes widows, daughters and sons and others. Each heir has equal rights to the property. This means that daughters have the same rights whether they are married or not. One thing we all need to keep in mind daughter gets equal rights in ancestral property as son.
