What does Indian law say?
In India, there is a clear law regarding how much right daughters have in property and when daughters do not get a share in their father's property. By amending the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 in the year 2005, daughters have been given the legal right to get an equal share in the ancestral property.
This law was made in 1956 for the provisions of claims and rights on property. According to this, the daughter has as much right on her father's property as the son.
Strengthening the rights of daughters, the amendment in this succession law in 2005 ended any kind of doubt regarding the rights of the daughter on her father's property.
Right to which property is acquired by birth
Under Hindu law, property is divided into two parts. The first is ancestral and the second is self-acquired. Parental property is defined as property that has been inherited by the male through four generations and has remained undivided during this period. Be it a daughter or a son, she gets an equal share in such property by birth. Before 2005, only sons could get a share in such property.
Under what circumstances can one refuse?
In case of self-acquired property, where the father has purchased land or house with his own money, the daughter does not have any right over it. In this case, the father has the right to write a will of property to anyone, and the daughter will not be able to object. In case of self-acquired property, the daughter's side is weak. That is, if the father refuses to give the daughter a share in his property then the daughter cannot do anything.
