With reference to the history of ancient India, which of the following statements is/are correct?

1. Mitakshara was the civil law for upper castes and Dayabhaga was the civil law for lower castes.
2. In the Mitakshara system, the sons can claim right to the property during the lifetime of the father, whereas in the Dayabhaga system, it is only after the death of the father that the sons can claim right to the property.
3. The Mitakshara system deals with the matters related to the property held by male members only of a family, whereas the Dayabhaga system deals with the matters related to the property held by both male and female members of a family. Select the correct answer using the code given below.

Statement 1 is not correct: Both Dayabhaga and Mitakshara are systems of family/civil law applicable to the upper castes. The Dayabhaga system prevailed in eastern India, while Mitakshara was followed in other parts of the country.

Statement 2 is correct: According to the Dayabhaga system, sons can claim rights to property and partition it only after the death of the father. In contrast, the Mitakshara system allows sons to claim this right even during the father's lifetime.

Statement 3 is not correct: Both systems address the property rights of both men and women.

While the Mitakshara school placed significant restrictions on women's property rights, considering them unable to become coparceners, the Dayabhaga school was more lenient. A widow, for example, had the right to inherit her deceased husband's share and enforce a partition against his brothers.

Hence, only statement 2 is correct.
