Answer 1

Answer:

please mark as brainliest

Explanation:

Prior to 1937, there were no codified laws to deal specifically with the Hindu women’s right to property, where disputes arose, they were settled in accordance with the customary practices. In 1937, the Hindu Women’s Right To Property Act was passed after much voicing of discontent over the unsatisfactory condition of women’s rights. In the prevalent socio-legal atmosphere of that time, this Act came as a breath of fresh air for supporters of female empowerment

However, it was by no means enough to achieve the lofty target of gender equality. Under the said Act– “a widow was entitled to a limited interest over the property of her husband – what was to be termed as Hindu widow’s estate.” [vi]The ameliorative effects of this legislation was further diluted in 1938 when it was amended to exclude a widow’s interest in any agricultural land.

Under this Act, “a Hindu man’s widow, his widowed daughter in law and widowed granddaughter in law are entitled to inherit to his estate, not only in default of but along with, his male issues.”[vii] The widow in a Hindu coparcenary succeeds to her husband’s claim irrespective of the existence of male heirs. The right of survivorship of his collaterals is hence defeated. However, the claim granted to the widow is a limited one and it is such a limited interest that has come about to be called as a Hindu woman’s estate.
