Explanation:
The worth of a civilization can be judged from the position that it gives to women. Since Vedic times, the status of women in Indian society is always considered secondary and substituted to that of male members of society or family. As even in our ancient texts like Manusmriti, it mentions “Her father protects her in childhood, her husband protects her in youth and her sons protect her in old age; a woman is never fit for independence”. This could be the most probable cause why women’s right to inheritance was not recognized by the laws over a long period.
Though the Constitution of India enshrines the principle of equality in the chapters III, IV and IVA among its provisions but it can be always debated that have women been treated equally in the eyes of laws? This gender disparity has manifested itself through various forms, and especially with regard to effective rights in property. The inheritance law was of subsequent nature and, more broadly, applied to property owned in absolute seventy only as distinct from a joint family property. The central notion of the Hindu joint family is a shared male ancestor with his linear descendants. Sons acquired equal interest with the father in their ancestral property as co-participants even under early Hindu rule.
