ancestral property would be equally split among all living dependents male and female.
In case of widow, the immovable property will go to males members and the immovable property will go to his wife and son / daughter.
In chapter 2 of Book 3 of Arthashastra, a woman's property is defined as a "means of subsistence or jewellery".
This divsion of property which is mainly benefiting patriarchy is a bit concerning. Why not distribute the inheritance as a whole?
Btw do all Hindus living across globe believe in this property split?
