What is the objective of Section 14 of the Hindu Succession Act ?

Section 14(1) of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 declares that any property possessed by a female Hindu, whether acquired before or after the commencement of the Act, shall be held by her as full owner and not as a limited owner. Its object is to abolish the traditional limited or widow's estate, that is, "To remove disability of a female to acquire and hold property as absolute owner", as explained in V. Tulasamma v. Sesha Reddy (1977).
