When a daughter is married, she ceased to be part of her father's HUF. Many of the people saw this as a lack of women's property rights. Then on September 9, 2005. In Hindu Succession Act 1956, which governs the devolution of property among Hindus, was amended and according to Hindu Succession Amendment Act 2005, every daughter, whether married or unmarried, is considered as a member of her father's HUF and can even be appointed as 'Karta' of his father's property. The amendment now grants daughters the same rights, duties, liabilities, and disabilities that were earlier limited to sons only but now daughter's also.
According to the rule a daughter can take actions and get the benefits given by this rule only if her father passed away but after September 9, 2005. The daughter is eligible to be a co-sharer the property only if the father and the daughter were alive on September 9, 2005. From February 2, 2018, the Supreme Court has made it a general rule that a daughter living or dead, on the amendment, will be entitled to share her father’s property. Daughter's children can also make a claim according to this right. This rule also gives a sigh of relief to the parents who didn't have a son only and it gave equal rights among daughter and son.
