Women's right in ancestral propety


12-May-2023 (In Property Law)
Does a woman enjoys equal share in the property? I read that in 2005 there was an amendment in which the Supreme Court had set 2005 as a cut off on women right to ancestral property.

According to recent Supreme Court Judgment if the father has passed before September 2005, then daughters will have no right in the self acquired property. But in case of ancestral property, daughters will also have share in the property. The property will be divided according to the Hindu Sucession Act.
