A.True
B. False

Hint: The Hindu Succession Act 1956 was amended in 2005 to remove gender discriminatory provisions from it.
The amendment aimed to end gender discrimination in Mitakshara coparcenary by including daughters in the system as a coparcener.

Complete answer:
Hindu Succession Act 1956 was amended in 2005 to remove gender discriminatory provisions of it and to give equal rights to daughters in Hindu Mitakshara coparcenary property as that of the sons. The act (Hindu succession amendment act 2005) aimed at making two major changes in the Hindu Succession Act 1956.

It amended the clause that stated daughters were excluded from being a coparcener and the second is, it omitted section 23 of the act which stated that a female child will not be treated as a part of a succession of a property owned by her family.
Effect of Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act 2005

This amendment has drastically changed the position of women in society in a better manner. It gave equal rights to daughters as that to the sons in property and reduced gender discrimination against women. The daughter is also a coparcener in the Hindu joint family therefore she can also ask for partition.

Hence, the correct answer is option (A)

Note: It was held in Danamma V. Amar that a daughter is entitled to an equal share as a son in ancestral property, including a daughter born before the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 came into force.
Clarifying further, the bench added that the marriage of the daughter makes no difference to this position.
