According to Islamic law, a married daughter inherits an equal share of the property as her brothers. The share is calculated based on the specific Quranic verses and principles of Islamic inheritance. However, the exact share depends on the number of siblings and their gender.

My mother received agricultural land as a gift from my grandmother 12 years ago. The land was originally gifted to my grandmother by her father-in-law. Now, my aunt is claiming an equal share in the land. She has filed a case in court. Could you explain the legal implications of this situation under Muslim law?

My brother and I are two sons, along with five sisters, in a Muslim family. Our father owned land in his village in Uttar Pradesh. The land records, written in Hindi, list both my brother and me as “Khatedar ka naam” and our father as “Sanrakshak ka naam”. Sadly, our father passed away in 1999 without leaving a will. We’re uncertain about the following: 1. Do only my brother and I have rights to this land, or do our sisters also have a share? 2. If our sisters are entitled to a share, what percentage would each receive? 3. Would we need our sisters’ consent to sell the land?

I’m a Muslim living in Saudi Arabia with my wife and two children, aged 5 and 3. We got married in 2009. I’m considering divorce because my wife doesn’t listen to me and wants to live life her own way. I visit twice a year, and during my last trip, I let her go visit family for 8 days, but she stayed for a month. This year, her brother is getting married, and I told her to stay for 8 days, but she wants to stay longer. Her family is involved, and her father is even suggesting a divorce.

My grandfather had six daughters and a son. Sadly, two of his daughters and his only son have passed away. We have 4 aunts, including my mother, who are still alive. Our family owns around 12 acres of land in our village, Kudur. However, the children of my late uncle (my grandfather’s son) are refusing to share the land with my aunts. I’m worried about our family’s rights to the land. Could you please tell me: 1. Who currently owns the land – my grandfather or his deceased son? 2. If the land was transferred to my deceased uncle, was the legal process followed correctly? 3. What would be the approximate cost to resolve this matter legally?

My father recently passed away, and we’re a family of 5 – four brothers and myself, the only daughter. We’re Muslims, and I’m curious about my rightful share of his property. My brothers are saying my mother gets one share and I get only 30%. Is this accurate under Islamic law?

Previous Article My ECS for January 2016 was rejected by IDBI Bank, citing a closed account. I contacted both HDFC and IDBI Bank via email, but received no satisfactory response. After personally inquiring with IDBI, they confirmed in writing that the details submitted by HDFC were incorrect. I provided HDFC with a letter from IDBI on April 28, 2016, but have yet to receive a proper response. Despite daily contact with HDFC staff, they offer excuses every day. Is it advisable to take legal action against both banks for causing me significant mental stress, impacting my CRISIL score, and wasting my precious time?
Next Article My new flat is 1200 sq ft, but 214 sq ft is listed as common area, including the balcony and passage. There are 3 flats on my floor, and mine is the largest. Our floor is L-shaped, with my flat on the corner. The front of my door has a common balcony, which is the bottom of the L. Can I claim exclusive rights to this balcony? If so, what portion? Can I install a grill to prevent others from using the area in front of my door, even though it’s common? It’s not a common passage.
