Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Every citizen is treated equally under the laws due to the rule of law. Under Indian law, everyone was treated equally regardless of their gender, place of birth, race, caste, creed, etc. Thus, the passage of the Hindu Succession Amendment Act represented a significant step toward equality. This act provides that the assets of the family shall be divided equally among the sons, daughters and their mothers. The gender-discriminatory provisions of the Hindu Succession Act of 1956 were repealed by this statute. A daughter of a coparcener shall, like a male, by birth become a coparcener in her own right, by the amendment. The modification became effective on September 9, 2005.
The correct statement is it was the “Hindu Succession” act, not the Woman Succession Act, that provided a share in the father’s property to women.
