This Act amends several sections of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956. For instance: new section 6 states that in a Joint Hindu family governed by the Mitakshara law, the daughter of a coparcener shall: (a} by birth become a coparcener in her own right in the same manner as the son; (b) have the same rights in the coparcenary property as she would have had if she had been a son; (c) be subject to the same liabilities in respect of the said coparcenary property as that of a son. In addition, it establishes that: any property to which a female Hindu becomes entitled by virtue of subsection 1 shall be held by her with the incidents of coparcenary ownership and shall be regarded, notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, or any other law for the time being in force, as property capable of being disposed of by her by testamentary disposition.
