My father remarried a year after my mother passed away. He’s 60 now, and she’s pregnant. Before marriage, he gave her 7 lakhs and she signed a document saying she doesn’t want any property. We’re from the SC community in India. Will his new wife or their child have a claim on our family property? How can we prepare for any legal challenges this might cause?

Under Indian law, your father’s new wife and child may have a claim on your family property depending on the specific details of the property and the legal status of your father’s marriage. Consult a lawyer specializing in family law to understand your rights and how to protect your interests. They can advise on legal steps to ensure your family’s property rights are safeguarded.
