WOMEN’S PROPERTY RIGHT

Nishanth

When a woman in India confronts separation she is entitled to property ownership. Within the past, married women have had constrained rights to their parental property, and the widows were perpetually at the mercy of their children. This can be changing presently. The government has been taking a number of dynamic steps to advance property holding among women in later times. In fact , the centre has been attempting to engage women's property rights through different revisions to legislation.


According to Section 14 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, pronounces, “Any property had by a female Hindu, whether obtained some time recently or after the graduation of this Act, should be held by her as full proprietor thereof and not as a constrained owner.” This makes women supreme owners of their properties. Be that as it may, not numerous women are mindful of their rights; there's a misguided judgment that women appreciate as it was constrained rights over property, other than various other restrictions.


Women's property rights are property and legacy rights delighted in by women as a category inside society at any point in time. The designs and rights of property possession change between societies and are affected by cultural, social, racial, political, and lawful components. Development-related issues confronted over the globe have been progressively connected to women's need for property and inheritance rights, particularly in respect to land and property possession, including regions such as low levels of education, starvation, and destitute health.

She is entitled to stay beneath his roof and assurance. She is additionally entitled to partitioned residence in the case by reason of the husband's conduct or by his refusal to preserve her in his own place of residence or for other fair because she is compelled to live separated from him. The Right to home may be a portion and allocate of the wife's right to maintenance. For the reason of maintenance the term ‘wife' includes a divorced wife.
