Married Daughters Rights In Property: Rules have been set for property division in India. Under these rules, the Hindu Succession Act was passed in 1965 for property division in India.
Under this law, laws related to property division, succession and inheritance among Hindus, Buddhists, Jains and Sikhs have been set.
Earlier, daughters did not have rights over property. But after the amendment in the Hindu Succession Act in the year 2005, daughters also started getting equal rights as sons in property. Meanwhile, a question also comes in the minds of people that after how many years of marriage do daughters have rights over property? Let us tell you.
Daughters will have rights on property even after marriage
Before the year 2005, under the Hindu Succession Act, only unmarried daughters were considered members of the Hindu Undivided Family. After marriage, they were not considered members of the Hindu Unmarried Family. That is, after marriage, they had no rights over the property. But after the amendment in the Hindu Succession Act in the year 2005, daughters have been considered equal heirs to the property.
Now even after marriage, the daughter has the same right on the father’s property as the son, there is no change in this even after marriage. Let us tell you that there is no limit or rule for how many years after marriage the daughter will have the right on the property. That is, the daughter will always have the right on the property.
There is right only on ancestral property
In India, under the Hindu Succession Act, property is divided into two categories. One is ancestral property and the other is self-acquired property. Ancestral property is that which is passed on from generation to generation. Sons and daughters have a birthright on this property. But the property which is self-acquired by the father, that is, purchased from his own earnings, no one has a birthright on it.
If the father wants, he can transfer the entire property to his son. And if he wants, he can transfer it to his daughter. Or he can divide it equally between the two. If the father dies without dividing his property, then both the son and the daughter are legal heirs of the property.
