What are the rights of daughter in inheritance of mother's ornaments in indian law ?
25-Jul-2024 (In Civil Law)
In India, a mother's jewelry classified as streedhan is legally considered her self-acquired property. If she passes away intestate (without a will), her property, including the jewelry, is distributed equally among her Class I legal heirs, which include her husband, sons, and daughters. Importantly, daughters have equal rights, regardless of their marital status.
So yes, married or unmarried, a daughter has as much legal claim to her mother's jewelry as her brothers or father do. If there's any dispute, the matter can be resolved legally under the Hindu Succession Act, assuming the family is Hindu.
