News India Live, Digital Desk: BIG Decision of Supreme Court: This is very big news for all daughters who often struggle for their rights in father’s property. The country’s largest court, the Supreme Court, has recently pronounced a historic decision that has challenged a centuries -old tradition. Now the court has made it clear that if a father dies without a will, then his self-abusive property (his own earnings) Daughters will get equal to sons and other co-concerts.
This decision is a direct attack on a very old ‘conservative tradition’. Earlier there was a belief that if the father has not written a will, then the first right to his property is only for sons or other male relatives. But now the Supreme Court has put an end to this.
What was the whole matter and what the court said?
This case was related to a 2016 decision of Madras High Court, which Supreme Court Was challenged in In this case, a father did not write a will of his house and land and died. His brother (uncle) had acquired him, expressing his right to his property. The father’s daughters fought a long battle against this decision and finally it reached the Supreme Court.
Supreme Court Justice S. The bench of Abdul Nazir and Krishna Murari clearly stated: “If the father has not left any will, then under Section 15 (2) of the Hindu Succession Act 1956 Self-Arjit property should give preference to women successors from her husband’s family on the previous heirs.“In simple words, if a father makes property with his hard work and passes without a will, then his daughters have the first and full right on that property, and that right will come before father’s brother or other male relatives.
This decision is a very big win for women’s property rights. This is not just a legal paper, but is a very important step towards thinking about daughters in society and increasing their self -esteem. Now daughters can also claim their father’s earning property with full respect and rights, just like sons.
