Yes, under the Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act, 2005, daughters have equal rights in ancestral property, including agricultural land, regardless of their marital status. Currently, there are no known amendments in process regarding the U.P.Z.A.L.R. Act that would affect the inheritance rights of married daughters. It's advisable to consult with a property law expert to navigate the complexities of both central and state laws. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
