Can a daughter claim a share in the property her father and brothers acquired through their hard work, even if she wasn’t involved in its creation? For example, if a father and son start a business after the daughter’s marriage and build wealth through it, does the daughter have any legal right to their property, either during her father’s lifetime or after his death?

Yes, a daughter has a legal right to a share in her father’s property, including wealth acquired after her marriage, under the Hindu Succession Act, 1956. She is entitled to a share of the property, both during her father’s lifetime and after his death, even if she didn’t directly contribute to its creation.
