Section 8 Hindu Succession Act | Daughters Entitled to Equal Share in Father’s Self-Acquired Property Irrespective of Marriage Date : Karnataka HC
The Karnataka High Court ruled that daughters are entitled to an equal share in their father’s self-acquired property under Section 8 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, regardless of their marriage date or the 2005 amendment. This decision overturns the trial court’s erroneous application of notional partition and reinforces gender equality in intestate succession.
