Hindu widows to get share of husbands’ properties
October 12, 2021
Hindu widows in Bangladesh are entitled to inherit rights to all the properties of their husbands according to the Hindu Women’s Rights to Property Act.
A single High Court bench of Justice Md Miftah Uddin Chowdhury on Tuesday published the copy of full verdict over the issue.
According to the verdict, properties means all kinds of movable or immovable properties, homesteads, agricultural land, cash money or any other sorts of assets. There is no difference between agricultural land and homesteads.
The widows have the need of these properties for their livelihood.
The judge pronounced the verdict after hearing on a writ petition filed by a Hindu family in Khulna on September 2, 2020.
