The Vivādacintāmaṇi, the leading authority in Mithilā, restricts strīdhana to the technical strīdhana recognized by the smṛtis and lays down the devolution of it as follows: (1) Śulka¹⁵⁴⁴ (defined as property received by a woman at the time of her marriage, if in an unapproved form) passes as under the Mit. cited above; (2) Yautaka passes first to unmarried daughters, then in the way laid down by the Mit. for all strīdhana; (3) all technical strīdhana other than the two preceding varieties passes to sons and unmarried daughters together, then to sons and married daughters jointly, then to daughter's daughters, then to daughter's sons and then as under the Mit. system (for strīdhana in general.)
