S. 2(2) Hindu Succession Act Is 'Barrier' For Tribal Women To Lay Claim Over Father's Property: Rajasthan High Court Suggests Amendment

The Rajasthan High Court has ruled in favor of "equal inheritance rights for tribal daughters" under the Hindu Succession Act. The court's decision is a significant step towards gender equality and social justice. The ruling, which came in a landmark case, ensures that tribal women are not discriminated against in matters of property and inheritance.
