Rights of daughter of first wife of deceased against 2nd wife
29-Jan-2023 (In Family Law)
My father died recently in a car accident. I am the only living child [Daughter] of my Father from his 1st wife. After, my mother's death my father married another lady which is presently alive. My father was currently on government job and own various property. I want to know about my legal right in job and various properties against the living wife of my father. PS: I am married now.
Dear Madam,
Every Child under Hindu law irrespective of being a girl or a boy, legitimate, illegitimate and from any wife has equal rights to inherit property through his father.
If your father had separate property and died without a will then the property shall be equally divided among all his children, his current legal wife and his mother if alive. And if property is ancestral only you and your step siblings will have an equal share excluding wife and mother.
