A 2005 amendment to the Hindu Succession Act grants daughters equal coparcener rights in ancestral Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) property as sons, regardless of marital status. This right applies if the daughter was alive on September 9, 2005, the effective date of the amendment. The father does not need to be alive on this date for the daughter to be considered a coparcener. The amendment ensures daughters can request partition and receive a share of HUF assets.
