Yes, a daughter can claim equal rights in ancestral property after marriage under Indian law. Marriage does not take away a daughter’s right to her share in ancestral property.
Key points:
Under the Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act, 2005, a daughter has the same rights as a son in ancestral property.
A married daughter is considered a coparcener by birth and can claim an equal share in ancestral property.
Her marital status does not affect her legal right to inherit or claim her share.
A daughter can seek her share through a legal partition if her rights are denied.
The right generally applies to ancestral property, while self-acquired property may depend on the owner’s decisions and applicable laws.
The claim may depend on specific facts, such as the nature of the property and family circumstances.
