The Hindu Succession Act was amended in 2005 to give equal rights to women. The amended Act, which came into effect on September 9, 2005, is applicable to the various sects and castes of Hindus, apart from Sikhs, Buddhists and Jains.

Prior to the amendment, a woman had no right to a joint ownership or coparcenary property. Section 6 of the amended Act talks about the devolution of interest in coparcenary properties. Now, a daughter becomes an owner of the coparcenary property by birthright in the same manner as a son does.

If you are Bengali and governed by Dayabhaga School of Succession then daughters have equal rights with the sons if the parents have died intestate.

The marital status of the daughter is of no consequence.
