Women's property rights have historically faced marginalisation, perpetuating social discrimination. However, securing these rights empowers women, challenging societal norms and fosters gender equality. The transformation from marginalisation to empowerment highlights the profound impact of women's property rights in combating discrimination and promoting inclusivity. Among these initiatives the Hindu Succession Act of 1956, amended in 2005, sanctioned property rights for women in ancestral property, marking a crucial step towards gender equality and empowerment. This study attempts to traverse the intricate terrain the property rights of women in India, analysing diverse national and international databases to uncover the evolving status of women. It offers insights into the transformative impact of legal reforms on gender equality and societal norms.
