House Property Deemed Ownership exemption


05-Oct-2026 (In Tax Law)
If a father purchases a house in the name of his minor married daughter, she is treated as the deemed owner under the I.T Act. But suppose the property was given because her in-laws demanded it as dowry. Since child marriage and dowry are illegal, the persons involved may be punished. My concern is whether this tax provision indirectly benefits the in-laws by allowing them to enjoy the house, despite the underlying transaction being illegal. Does the I.T Act create such a indirect benefits.
