NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court today agreed to hear a plea by a Jammu and Kashmir woman challenging certain provisions of the Constitution which denied property right to a woman who marries a person from outside the State.
The provision which makes such woman from State lose property right also applies to her son the right to acquire immovable property.
A bench comprising justices Dipak Misra and A M Khanwilkar directed Additional Solicitor General P S Narasimha, appearing for the Centre, to verify whether this matter involved a similar issue in which the chief justice has referred the case to a larger bench. (AGENCIES)
