Correct Answer: Hindu Succession Act.


Solution : The correct option is the Hindu Succession Act.

In a ruling on August 11, 2020, the Supreme Court of India declared that, as per the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, daughters are entitled to the same rights concerning their ancestral property as sons. The court rendered its ruling in response to several applications that contested the earlier application of the law.
