When SPM was alive, when he created that will that time it was NOT LEGALLY allowed to give ancestral property rights to women heirs as per the Mitakshara Survivorship Principles. Women heirs only had Streedhan rights not properly rights. SPM wasn't bound by law or any thing to give Subhadra any percentage of shares in his property. It was the norm that time.
The situation changed only after the amendment in Hindu Succession Act.
It's wrong to blame SPM for Subhadra! You can blame him for giving only 11% to DB but you can't blame him for not giving Subhadra anything.
About Subhadra it was DB & Vidur's responsibility to find some middle way and adjust shares!
