Women rights in property when father has biased treatment for son


14-Apr-2023 (In Property Law)
My father and mother have biased nature between 3 daughter and 1 son. They followed traditional way giving birth to sons only, wasn't satisfied with daughters, always wanted son. Knowing the fact they never wanted a girl child, it would be obvious that they will Not think to give financial support to daughter as they are supporting son, So, it's obvious that my father will write will for only son. Then do I have any right in my father's self acquired and ancestral properties? If not, why are we saying don't kil girl child and beti padai when we never have similar feelings and love for daughters as people have for their son. My mother gives me all examples of different families who are only giving everything to their sons.

you can take your share in the ancestral property your father cannot bequeath it to your brother. by whatever way he tries he cannot do it, if you challenge the same. you can claim your share during his lifetime as well, you have a equal share in the ancestral property.

You do have an equal right on the ancestral properties but when it comes to your father’s self-acquired properties, then in that case they can be passed on under Will or intestate succession laws. Please contact me for further details.
