You have the right to seek justice and compensation for the mistreatment you endured. Your son has the right to inherit his father’s ancestral property, and any attempt to disinherit him through such an agreement is likely invalid under Indian law. It is highly advisable to consult a lawyer to understand your specific legal rights and options.

My husband’s family misled us about his job and salary during our marriage discussions.
