Recently, the Supreme Court of the country has given an important verdict, which is no less than a boon for daughters.
Under this decision, now the daughters will get equal rights to their brothers in the property of the father, whether the father died on any date. This decision is a historic step towards resolving long -standing property disputes in the joint families of the country and giving their rightful rights to daughters.
What was the condition of daughters before?
In our society, daughters were often kept away from property. He was explained by saying that his house has changed after marriage and now he does not have the right in the property of the maiden. But this thinking is now against the law. Earlier laws also got the rights of daughters, but many times they could not get their share of father’s death or other reasons.
Now the court has made it clear that if a daughter is in a Hindu family by birth, she is a part of her father’s property – whether the father died.
What has changed by court order?
The new order states that:
- Daughters will get the rights in the property of the father that sons get.
- Whether the daughters are married or not, it will not matter.
- Even if the father has died before 2005, the daughter will still get her right, if the matter is pending in the court.
- Daughters will no longer have to wait long for their share, they can go to court or take their share from family agreement.
Why was this change necessary?
There were thousands of cases in the country in which daughters were denied rights only because their father died before 2005, while the Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act 2005 was revised to give the rights of equals to daughters.
The court has made it clear that daughters are successful from birth and not from a particular date.
What does this mean for daughters?
This decision will now change the situation for daughters now. Them:
- Equal share will be available in father’s property
- No one can be able to bias about property
- Legal protection will be given if someone wants to take away their rights
- Daughters will no longer have to compromise thinking “I am a girl, what to do?”
Now what do daughters have to do?
If you are a daughter and you have not yet found a share in your father’s property, now you:
- Take advice of a lawyer
- If the matter is in court, claim your right
- By interacting with the family, you can get a participation in the property with mutual consent
- If forced rights are being taken away, knock the door of the court
How will this decision affect society?
This new order will affect not only legal, but also on social thinking.
- Daughters will now get a share in property with respect
- The atmosphere of gender equality will increase in society
- The financial condition of women will be stronger
- Daughters will not have to struggle for their rights
- Parents and brothers will not hesitate to accept the rights of daughters in future
Now the time has come when we accept that daughters are not just to go to someone else’s house. He has full right to her parents’ legacy. This decision is not only a victory of law, but also a symbol of accepting the real identity of daughters in society.
If you or a daughter around you is still deprived of their rights, now there is time to raise voice, to get information and take your share.
