8. A Hindu woman or girl will have equal property rights along with other male relatives for
any partition made in intestate succession after September 2005, the Supreme Court has
ruled.
“The new Section 6 provides for parity of rights in the coparcenary property among male
and female members of a joint Hindu family on and from September 9, 2005. The
legislature has now conferred substantive right in favor of the daughters.
“According to the new Section 6, the daughter of a coparcener becomes a coparcener by
birth in her own rights and liabilities in the same manner as the son. The declaration in
Section 6 that the daughter of the coparcener shall have same rights and liabilities in the
coparcenary property as she would have been a son is unambiguous and
unequivocal,”Justice Lodha, writing the judgment, said.
The term coparcener refers to the equal inheritance right of a person in a property.
