520 _a Daughter brings bucket full of virtues in the family. She needs care, love and affection from her parents, family members, relatives, and society. She blooms into a careeroriented woman; who also gives equal focus to her personal life. After marriage, she leaves behind her parents, maidenhood, surname and sweet memories. The society presumes her ties to her natal family are severed on marriage and replaced by her matrimonial home. In such situations, given her unequal equilibrium in matrimonial home and the property accumulated jointly by spouses, the law needs to protect her humanly dignified existence with property rights. Law has strived to grant daughter equal property rights in her natal family; however, this right in her family of adoption and matrimonial home has not received much attention. This paper attempts to analyse existing laws, judicial decisions and their socio-economic impact to bring out existing inequality and unequal treatment towards daughters. – Reproduced
