Hindu Succession Act (Amended 2005) - Section 6

Ancestral Property & Coparcenary Equality

Act No. 39 of 2005

In a Joint Hindu family governed by the Mitakshara law, the daughter of a coparcenary shall by birth become a coparcenary in her own right in the same manner as the son. She possesses the same rights in the coparcenary property as she would have had if she had been a son.
