Daughter Born Before Partition Of Ancestral Property Prior To Amendment Of S.6 Of Hindu Succession Act Cannot Claim Right In Father's Share: Karnataka HC

The Karnataka High Court ruled that daughters have a right to share in ancestral property under Section 6 of the Hindu Succession Act, even after a partition. The judgment reinforced the legal rights of daughters in Hindu families, affirming their entitlement to a share in ancestral property. The ruling clarifies that the rights of daughters to ancestral property are not extinguished simply because of a prior partition. This landmark decision strengthens gender equality in the context of inheritance and ensures that daughters receive the same rights as sons in the family’s ancestral estate.
