In most of the Indian families,women do not own property in their own names and do not get share of parental property.Due to weak enforcement of laws protecting them,women continue to have little access to land and property. In fact, some of the laws discriminate against women, when it comes to land and property rights. Though, women have been given rights to inheritance, but the sons had an independent share in the ancestral property,while the daughter's shares were based on the share received by the father.Father could anytime disinherit daughter by renouncing his share but the son will continue to have a share in his own right.The married daughters facing harassment have no rights in ancestral home.
