Hindu Law of Succession Towards Equality of Sexes

Hindu Law of Succession Towards Equality of Sexes

The book makes an attempt to study the status of Hindu woman right from Vedic age down to present day regarding rights of property and law of inheritance basing on judicial interpretation of principles of ancient Hindu law and present day legislations. Pioneering rulings of Courts even prior to enactment of Hindu Succession Act 1956, which had deeper impact on and were instrumental in giving definite shape to Hindu law in the field of gender justice in regard to property laws have been included in the discussion.
