Question
Under Section 14 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, what
is the effect on a Hindu woman's previously limited estate upon the Act's commencement?Solution
Section 14 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, fundamentally reformed women's property rights by converting all pre-1956 limited estates (life interests in stridhan, maintenance grants, widow's estate) into absolute ownership upon the Act's commencement. This landmark provision empowered Hindu women with full proprietary rights and powers of disposition over previously restricted property, abolishing the restrictive concept of women's estate under pre-1956 Hindu law. The woman now owns the property absolutely, not as a limited owner.
