Reading: My family is facing a difficult situation. My father recently passed away, and the land is in my mother’s name. We have three brothers and three sisters, all of whom are married. My mother wants to give the land to just one of us, but the rest of us feel it’s unfair. Is there any legal provision that can help us in this situation?

Under Indian law, your mother has the right to dispose of her property as she wishes, even if it means favoring one child. However, you can challenge the decision through a legal process, arguing that the distribution is unfair and potentially seeking a share of the land based on inheritance laws.
