The Supreme Court on Tuesday gave a big verdict, saying that a daughter has the right to equal her father's property. The court said that under the amended Hindu Succession Act, it is the right of daughters and the daughter is always a daughter. The court said that the Hindu woman will get the same share in her father's property as her brother.

The court said that from September 9, 2005, the daughters would get a share in the assets of the Hindu undivided family. Explain that in the year 2005, a law was made that both son and daughter would have equal rights over the property of their father. However, it was not clear whether the law would apply to such a family if the father had died before 2005.

In this case on Tuesday, a bench headed by Judge Arun Mishra ruled that this law will be applicable in all circumstances. The bench said in its judgment that before the enactment of the law, even before the year 2005, if the father has died, the daughter will get equal rights to the son on the father's property.

Explain that the Hindu Succession Act 1965 was amended in the year 2005. Under this, there is a provision to give an equal share to daughters in the paternal property. According to this, the daughter has the same right over the property of the father as the legal heir, as the son. It has nothing to do with marriage.
