What will be the status of child from wife's first marriage


01-Dec-2023 (In Family Law)
I want to marry a widow lady who has a minor son from her first marriage. I want to know what would be the status of that child after marriage. Would I be his legal father or just a guardian? Would he be a legal heir in my ancestral/paternal property? What would be my legal rights/bindings for that child after marriage? My religion is Hindu and the lady is also Hindu.

Hello sir,

The response to your query is very simple. Since the lady is widow, you can anytime marry with her consent. Secondly you will become the legalised father the moment you get married to the lady.
Thirdly the child will become righful heir in the ancestral property/self acclaimed property.
