If your husband legally divorced his first wife in 1986 and thereafter married you, you are the lawful wife. Upon his death without a Will, his property devolves as per the Hindu Succession Act, 1956.
Legal Position:
The child of the first wife is a Class-I legal heir and has a right only to an equal share, not the entire property.
You, as the second wife after a valid divorce, are also a Class-I legal heir.
The VRO has no authority to force a “compromise” or deny mutation merely because there is a dispute.
Revenue officials cannot decide title or shares—their role is limited to mutation based on law.
What You Should Do:
1. Submit the divorce decree (1986), marriage proof, and death certificate.
2. Apply for mutation as joint legal heirs.
3. If mutation is refused, file an appeal before the RDO/Joint Collector.
4. If dispute continues, file a civil suit for declaration and partition—this will legally bind all parties.
Important:
Do not agree to any compromise under pressure. Your rights are protected by law.
For a precise strategy based on documents, detailed consultation is advised.
