  WOMEN’S PROPERTY RIGHTS
Earlier women did not have any rights in
the property and they were at the mercy
of the male members of the family. Joint
Hindu Family, unique institution, acted as
refugee home of many women and
widows and with the disappearance of
the Joint Hindu Family, the plight of
women worsened.
Another area which was improved upon
was the Co parcener’s property. Co-
parcener’s property is a Hindu undivided
family property. The members of Hindu
Undivided property are called co-
parceners who are related to the head of
the family and attain the right in the
property by birth.
On partition of the co-parcenary
property women is entitled to equal
share as that of a son. The property
so acquired is capable of being
disposed by her through will or any
other testamentary disposition.
