Both the wives will have their share in the property. Both the wives' children will also have share as found in Hindu Succession Act. Regarding daughters the position is:
The SC in pronouncing this judgment has provided the much-needed clarity that the Amendment Act is prospective in its application, i.e., with respect to a Hindu family governed by Mitakshara law, a daughter would have a right in the ancestral property inherited by the father only if both the daughter and the father are alive at the time of commencement of the Amendment Act. No distributions of such properties of persons who passed away prior to 9 September 2005 can be re-opened or questioned by daughters. For the sake of clarity, it may be noted that the position with regard to succession to any self-acquired property (as against coparcenary property) of a Hindu male dying intestate remains unchanged, with the daughter being entitled to a simultaneous share in such self-acquired property as the son (in the absence of a will stating anything to the contrary).
