Abstract

The right to property is especially sacrosanct since the state of financial deficit renders women’s condition very much pathetic in a patriarchal society. In order to get a clear picture of women’s property rights in a caste based patriarchal society like India, here, the Hindu Code Bill is taken into consideration as a major plot because the bill has a history of egalitarian dialogue and had been initiated as an effort to make an egalitarian structure, wherein women would be enjoying property rights as equal to men. This article deals with the trajectories of women’s property rights in India after the introduction of the Hindu Code Bill. So, the focus area of the study is on women’s rights in ancient Indian laws and their development in modern laws since the colonial period to the Hindu Code Bill.
