What rights do women have in an inheritance?
23-May-2023 (In Property Law)
What are the rights of women in ancestral property inheritance?
"Initially, women were denied a share in an inheritance of property and the law gave preference to the sons. However, a daughter now has an equal right in the property left behind by their fathers.
This however only applies to properties left behind after 2005. Therefore, if a person had passed away before 2005, the daughter cannot claim an equal share in the property. She is however entitled to a certain amount of maintenance if she is unmarried. At present, a daughter has the same rights in the property of her father on par with a son."
