Women Equal Rights

Dear Nikhil Verma, The correct reading of S.29A (iv) is "nothing in this chapter shall apply to a daughter married before the date of commencement of Hindu Succession (Tamil Nadu Amendment) Act 1989.  The effective date of this amendment is 25th March, 1989.  So a daughter married before 25th March 1989 will not be eligible for equal rights.  However, a daughter married after 25th March, 1989 will get equal rights in the property.  You have to approach the Hon'ble Civil Court and ask for probate.  All the heirs of the deceased are required to be made party to the proceedings.  If you need more information, please contact ddkharpudikar@indiatimes.com Regards.

Thanks for Reply....

Dear Sir,

My Grand Father died on 1992 not 1989 i.e after the amendment.......this will impact any implication in partitation.

Thanks

Dear Nikhil Verma, Your grand father died in 1992, i.e. after the amendment.  So the succession will be governed subject to Section 29A(iv).  It will not have any implication in partition. If he would have died before 1989, then it would have te impact.  Regards.
