Property in Udupi

MakaanIQ explains women's right in their fathers' properties.

In a recent development, a public interest litigation has been filed asking for an amendment in the Muslim personal law on inheritance, alleging that Muslim women are being discriminated on the issues relating to sharing of property in comparison to their male counterparts. The petition claimed that the discrimination based on customary law as well as the statutory law violated Muslim women's fundamental right to equality enshrined under Articles 14, 19, 21 and other relevant provisions of the Constitution.

A property or a land parcel inherited up to four generations of male lineage is regarded as an ancestral property. According to the Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act, 2005, daughters have equal rights over an undivided ancestral property. A father who is the current owner of a family property must share ownership rights with his son, provided the share of the former is decided first after which the successive generations can subdivide the portion from their corresponding predecessor. Such properties cannot be sold without the successors’ consent and can be reclaimed by filing a suit for partition in a court.
