Read full Judgment

The Karnataka High Court has said that even married daughters are entitled to compensation on all the heads from the insurance company on the death of their parent in an accident.

"This Court also cannot make any discrimination whether they are married sons or married daughters and hence, very contention that married daughters of deceased is not entitled to compensation cannot be accepted and the Court has to take note of the rationale behind in coming to the conclusion of even married sons and major sons are eligible to claim compensation and hence the married daughters also entitle for compensation on all the heads and not to limit only for conventional heads."
