Male/Female legal heirs have equal share in the property of father/mother even after marriage.

Court has held - Daughters would have equal share in the ancestral property, irrespective of their date of birth.
"The amended section 6 applies to daughters born prior to June 17, 1956 or thereafter (between June 17, 1956 and September 8, 2005), provided they are alive on September 9, 2005, that is on the date when the amendment act of 2005 came into force

The married daughter have equal right in the parental property after the advent of amendment in Hindu Succession Act 1956, that came into force since 9th sept 2005.

The Hindu Succession Act, 1956, originally didn't give daughters equal rights to ancestral property. This disparity was removed by an amendment that came into force on September 9, 2005.

Kindly mention your religion for more specific advice. Generally as per all personal laws even married daughters can claim share in fathers property but their part of share is decided as per the provisions of the personal law applicable to them.
