ABSTRACT
The paper examines the development of the concept of notional partition under Hindu law and its transformation vide the amendment in 2005 to the Hindu Succession Act for providing gender parity. Further, the author argues that the rigid patriarchal biases and assertion of male entitlement has impeded women in exercising their rights while playing the conflicting roles as ‘daughters’ and ‘wives’.
