This document provides an overview of the research methodology for a study on daughters' rights to property after the 2005 amendment to the Hindu Succession Act in India. The study will examine how effectively the amendment, which gave daughters the same rights to coparcenary property as sons, has been applied and the benefits daughters have gained. Primary data will be collected through surveys of courts and offices in Vadodara over 4 months in 2016. Secondary data will include legal documents and journals. The analysis and conclusions will evaluate the impact of the amendment on property partitions and daughters' ability to claim their legal rights to inheritance.
