The Great Epic of the Bhārata dynasty 13.47.25

13.47.25

striyāstu yadbhavedvittaṃ pitrā dattaṃ yudhiṣṭhira |
brāhmaṇyāstaddharetkanyā yathā putrastathā hi sā |
sā hi putrasamā rājanvihitā kurunandana || 25 ||

Whatever wealth, O Yudhishthira, the Brahmana wife may acquire by gift from her father, should be taken (after her death) by her daughter, for the daughter is like the son. The daughter, O king, has been ordained in the scriptures, to be equal to the son, O delighter of the Kurus. Even thus hath the law of inheritance been ordained, O bull of Bharata's race. Remembering these ordinances about the distribution and disposal of wealth, one should never acquire wealth uselessly.'
