Transgenders get right to property

Transgenders get right to property
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Transgenders, recognised as the ‘third gender’ by the Supreme Court, will now get the right to inherit agricultural land in Uttar Pradesh.

The state cabinet has cleared an amendment to the Uttar Pradesh Revenue Code of 2006 under which persons of the third gender will be recognised as members of a landowner’s family and will have an equal right to inherit agricultural property.

A draft proposal for the law was submitted by the State Law Commission to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath in March 2019.

Commission Chairperson Justice A. N. Mittal had pointed out that all inheritance laws mention ‘sons’, ‘daughters’, ‘married’, ‘unmarried’ and ‘widow’ which kept third gender children out of the purview of the law, who, as it is, face massive social boycott despite laws to protect their interests.

According to the official spokesman, in the new Uttar Pradesh Revenue Code (Amendment) Act, 2020, changes have been made to section 4(10), 108 (2), 109 and 110 to include people of third gender as members of the landowner’s family to give them succession and physical rights over property.
