Married women rights on ancestral property

Respected experts:

We are belongs to Hindu religion. Also live in the state of Tamilnadu. My grant father got property from his father. Hence it is ancestral property. During my grant father life time , he did not make any partition . He also expired in the year of 2007. My grant father have 3 sons and 5 daughter. Now my question is

The female persons will eligible for get equal shares in that property?
The above said female person 4 persons are married before 23.05.1989. They are eligible for equal shares in ancestral property?
Now my father suit case against un divided property and also request 1/8 share of his claim. Some of article said no rights on ancestral property , If female person married before 23.05. 1989. Hence My father will make amendment regarding suit case and also request of ¼ of share instead of 1/8?

If marriage is done before 2005 then femal does not have right on ancestral property.

Your father has filed suit.

What is the opinion of your own counsel that has examined all details and documents, nature of property?

You have posted that:

"During my grant father life time , he did not make any partition . He also expired in the year of 2007.'

What is relation of date of marriage!

The father has dceased after 2005.

If provisions of Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act,2005 are applicable, daughters have equal share.

all legal heirs of your grand father have rights over the property though the daughters married before the year 2005.

As per my knowledge, all the legal heirs have rights in the property, only the difference is as below: 1) If the father and daughter both are alive on 9 September 2005 then the daughter would get equal shares in the property equivalent to son's share 2) If the father or daughter was not alive in September 2005 then the daughters would get share from her parents share and not equal shares...
