I was informed by a lawyer that there is a change in property inheritance giving rights only to male children. Apparently this has been upheld in Supreme court judgements. Is that correct?
Typically in Indian custom the women are compensated with movable assets at time of their marriage and they do not participate in the financial affairs of thier parents house post marriage. So giving them a share in the property would be giving them a double share- and I have seen this happen repeatedly.
So I would like to know if there are any Supreme court judgements giving male children sole rights on property.
tks
