The Hindu (Amendment) Act of 2005 had
conferred equal rights to daughter as the son. According to this Act, in joint Hindu family
governed by Mitakshara law, the daughter of a co-parcener shall by birth become
a co-parcener in her own right in the same manner as the son and have the same
rights in the coparcerary property as she would have had if she had been a son,
inclusive of the right to claim by survivorship and shall be subject to the
same liabilities and disabilities in respect thereto as the son.
However,
the Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act has now been repealed recently along with other 125 acts
by Narendra Modi Government saying that
all are obsolete acts. See the link
