In India, adults above the legal marriageable age (18 for women and 21 for men) have the right to marry without parental consent. This right, protected under Article 21 of the Constitution as part of personal liberty, has been upheld by the Supreme Court, emphasizing the freedom to choose one's life partner regardless of caste, religion, or societal pressure. Under the Special Marriage Act, 1954, two consenting adults can legally marry even without family approval. Furthermore, children born from such marriages even if later declared void are entitled to inherit their parent's�property as per Indian inheritance laws.

There is no such law in our country. However, children have equal rights in inherited properties (i.e., property inherited from forefathers). As far as self-acquired properties of the parents are concerned, only the parents have the right to decide how to dispose of them, and the children have no legal claim or say in the matter.

If the property was purchased by the parents out of their own earnings, then the children have no legal right over it during the parents’ lifetime. However, if the property is ancestral, the children do have a legal right in it. In such a case, the person can issue a legal notice claiming their rightful share in the ancestral property.
