I am a widow, my husband served in the Indian Armed Forces and passed away in 2014. After his death, I faced difficulties from my in-laws, especially my father-in-law and brother-in-law. They tried to force me into an inappropriate relationship, which I resisted. I am struggling to cope with this situation and have a three-year-old daughter to care for. My father-in-law recently transferred some property in a prime location. I am unable to fight them legally. Can my father-in-law register this property in the name of his other daughter-in-law without my or my daughter’s consent? What are my options?

Under Indian law, your father-in-law cannot transfer property without your consent, as you are a legal heir to your husband’s property. You should consult a lawyer immediately to understand your rights and explore legal options to protect your and your daughter’s inheritance.

A showroom was partially sold 4-5 years ago. The buyer forged documents to claim full ownership, using these fake papers in court.

Previous Article My father passed away in February 2003. He strongly opposed giving any portion of his property to his daughter. So, in 1998, he let me build a house on the property at my own expense, allowing me to collect rent. After his passing, my mother claims there was no will and that she and my sister took all his savings – around 15 lakhs and some shares, the details of which are unclear. Now, they want a share in the property as well. This seems suspicious, especially since my mother never agreed to this arrangement before. I promptly got the property registered in my name, including electricity and water connections, in 2003. For the past 10 years, no one has contested this. I now wish to sell the property, but they refuse to sign, even if I offer them their rightful share. What legal steps should I take?
