How will the property be divided among two hindu wifes children


12-Jul-2023 (In Family Law)
I wanted to know about the property distribution law among the sons of first wife and second wife in HINDU family. Here is the case - A man who married second wife without divorsing first wife with HINDU rituals and he died, now first wife having 1 daughter and 2 sons & 2 daughter from 2nd wife. So this is the complete scenario and now my questions are --- 1) Are sons of 2nd wife are eligible for getting the propery share? 2) If yes , then how the property division will be ?

Hi both wives are eligible for property claim along with the kith and kin. Sons & Daughters of 2nd wife are eligible to get property share. It will be divided into equal shares among wives and children irrespective of whether its illegitimate marriage or not.

If there has been no divorce, the second wife will not be eligible for any share in the property as the marriage is considered void. But if the son has written a will and has gifted any property to second wife, she will be able to transfer the said property in her name. She may although may have to pay gift tax as she is not considered to be a part of family. I hope this clarifies your query
