What are the legal rights of third wife married illegally in property
19-Jun-2023 (In Property Law)
My brother without getting legal separation orders from the first wife married another lady. . After executing a Marriage cancellation deed with second lady he started living with another lady After his death on 10-4-2017, we came to understand that he had nominated the third lady for receiving pensionery benefits etc in the status as his wife. he had also executed a settlement deed in favor the third lady transferring land and building valued Rs.1.5 crores at Chennai on 12-3-2014 and registered it as Document No.3434 of 2014, Kindly advice me (1) whether the third lady can be treated as legally wedded Wife/ member of family in the absence of legal separation orders from the second wife. (2) If not, whether the settlement deed executed by my brother in her favour can be treated as invalid, and it has to be treated as a Sale deed with in sufficient stamp 3) Whether the third lady has right over the un divided ancestral properties of the deceased . No children left by the deceased.
The third lady can not be the legally wedded wife of your late brother but the settlement deed executed by him in her favor is valid because it is the self acquired property of your late brother and since he had no children in the third lady she can not make a claim in the ancestral property.
