I got married to a Muslim woman in 2002. We are both from Hindu and Muslim families, respectively. My wife’s brothers are trying to take over her family’s property and are even forging signatures. Can she claim a share of her parents’ and grandparents’ property? If so, what percentage is she entitled to? Any guidance you could offer would be greatly appreciated.

Under the Indian Succession Act, your wife can claim a share of her parents’ and grandparents’ property, irrespective of her religion. The exact percentage depends on the nature of the property (ancestral or self-acquired) and the applicable law at the time of inheritance. You should consult a lawyer to understand the specifics of your wife’s claim and how to deal with the forgery allegations.
