Describe new laws made for women empowerment.
Government of India has introduced “Hindu Succession Amendment Act, 2005”. In the new law sons, daughters and their mothers can get an equal share in the land. The same law will apply to all states and union territories of the country. The Hindu woman’s limited estate is abolished by the Act. Any property possessed by a Hindu female is to be held by her as her absolute property and she is given full power to deal with it and dispose it off by will as she likes. Parts of this Act were amended in 2005 by the Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act, 2005.
