Abstract

This Research Paper will coverthe concept of–whether women have equal shares over the coparcenary property or not & on the other hand it will also discuss the landmark judgment of Vineeta Sharma V/S Rakesh Sharma which has opened up a space for the women to have equal shares in the ancestral property of Hindu Undivided Family.Since the inception of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 the provision for the division of property of Hindu Undivided Family was only limited to the sons but the amendment of 2005 made some of the special changes to the act, adding daughters as the equal shareholders to the coparcenary property and even this amendment providedthat,the daughter can be the Karta of the Hindu Undivided Family.With special reference to the case of Vineeta Sharma vs Rakesh Sharma this research note will provide in-depth analysis with conflicting case laws where it will be put forth whether the coparcenary property are the property of the sons or even the daughter can claim for equal shares over the Hindu Undivided Family property.
