After the amendment of the Hindu Succession Act in 2005, which of the following statements is correct…

Section 6(1) of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, as substituted in 2005, provides that a daughter of a coparcener "shall by birth become a coparcener in her own right in the same manner as the son" and have "the same rights in the coparcenary property as she would have had if she had been a son". In Vineeta Sharma v. Rakesh Sharma (2020), the Supreme Court held that the right does not depend on the father being alive on 9 September 2005.

The daughter is therefore not limited to her father's self-acquired property or to a share on marriage, and she is now a coparcener, not merely a Class I heir.
