WHEREAS the Hindu Women's Rights to Property
Act, 1937, and the Hindu Women's Rights to Proper-
ty (Amendment) Act, 1938, purport to give better
rights to women in respect of property in general;
And whereas transactions have already taken place
in the Province on the basis that women had acquired
better rights under the said Acts in respect of agricul-
tural land as well as other kinds of property;
And whereas it has now been established that
the said Acts do not operate to give them better
rights in respect of agricultural land:
And whereas in order to validate those transac-
tions as well as to give women in future those better
rights and for other purposes, it is expedient to extend
the operation of the said Acts to agricultural land
with retrospective effect, but with certain savings;
It is hereby enacted as follows:-
Section 2 • THE ASSAM HINDU WOMEN'S RIGHTS TO PROPERTY (EXTENSION TO AGRICUL- TURAL LAND) ACT, 1943.
