Reading: In 2006, a young, unmarried Muslim woman legally bought her married brother’s share of their ancestral house for â‚¹1.5 lakhs. The brother and his wife moved out, along with another sibling. The family later rebuilt the old house into a modern multi-storey building in 2016. Now, the brother wants a larger share in the new building. Is this claim valid?

The brother’s claim is likely invalid. The sister legally purchased his share of the ancestral property in 2006. The subsequent reconstruction of the house doesn’t change the ownership structure established by the previous legal transaction.
