An analytical investigation on women's property, with particular emphasis on the 2005 amendment of hindu succession act, 1956

Women are pushed to a position of inferiority in social and economic facets of human relationships by the patriarchal society of ancient India, which wilfully ignores their claim to property. Women were specifically denied economic and sexual freedom under ancient Hindu law. Manu, the first lawmaker, stated that "a woman must be dependent upon her father in childhood, upon her husband in youth, and upon her sons in old age" in order to sustain this assumption. She must never be allowed to be free. In comparison to their male counterparts, she has consistently been viewed as a lesser being. Women are viewed as inferior not only in their homes and in society at large, but also when it comes to rights and benefits. According to our Constitution, Indian women are to be treated on an equal basis with males in all spheres of life. Several revisions were adopted in succession laws to achieve the goals of the Constitution; however this has led to inequalities among women. These inequalities were not limited to social status but also extended to the inequality of economic and property rights.
