Property division among 2 brothers and 5 sisters


30-Aug-2023 (In Muslim Law Law)
We are 2 brothers & 5 sisters & muslim. There is some land in our father's village in UP. As per land records we two brothers name is written as "Khatedar ka naam" and our fathers name is written as "Sanrakshak ka naam" as it shows land details in hindi. Father expired in 1999. No "Will" from father. Now we have below few queries : 1. whose right is on this land? Only two brothers or Will Sisters also have share? 2. If sisters have share so how much share in percentage will they have ? 3. To sell land, sisters consent will be required?

Only the two brothers will have right in the property. The sisters will not be having any right. The two brothers can send the said property to whomsoever they want to sell. No percentage to sisters will arise and no share to them. Hence there consent is also not required.

In Muslim law, the father is a custodian of property. After death of father the property is inherited by sons and daughters in ratio of 2 : 1, meaning all the sons together get two thirds and all daughters share the remaining one third to be divided equally between them. So two of you will have one third share each, the remaining will be shared by sisters. Yes 8f you have sisters, they have the right and consent is a must for selling or division of property.
