    Solution

    Section 14 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 fundamentally transforms pre-1956 limited estates (life interests in Stridhan, maintenance grants, widow's estate) into absolute ownership upon the Act's commencement. This landmark reform empowered Hindu women with full proprietary rights over previously restricted property interests.
