The Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act, 2005 (39 of 2005) was enacted to remove gender discriminatory provisions in the Hindu Succession Act, 1956. Under the amendment, the daughter of a coparcener shall by birth become a coparcener in her own right in the same manner as the son.
please mark me brainliest
Hindu Succession Amendment Act, 2005 brought females on the same level with males. Till recently, prior to the new law Hindu women did not get a share in the family's agricultural land. After the death of the father his property was divided equally only among his sons. But now the situation has been changed. In the new law sons, daughters and their mothers can get an equal share in the land. The same law will apply to all states and union territories of the country. The new law will benefit a large number of women. Now they can enjoy their independent status with equal rights.
