  4. DHindu Succession Act 1950

Answer: C. Hindu Succession Amendment Act 2005

Explanation

The correct answer is Hindu Succession Amendment Act 2005. Key Points According to Hindu Succession Amendment Act 2005, sons, daughters and their mothers get an equal share of family property. The Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act, 2005 (39 of 2005) was enacted to remove gender discriminatory provisions in the Hindu Succession Act, 1956. Under the amendment, the daughter of a coparcener shall by birth become a coparcener in her own right in the same manner as the son. The daughter shall now have the same rights in the coparcenary property (ancestral property of the Hindu undivided family) as a son. It was essentially meant for removing gender-discriminatory provisions regarding property rights in the Hindu Succession Act, 1956. Additional Information The Hindu marriage act was enacted in 1955 by an Act of Parliament. The main objective of this Act is to amend and codify the Hindu marriage laws. It also contains provisions relating to separation and divorce. It brought uniformity of law for all sections of Hindus.
