My husband has a younger brother and a married younger sister. Sadly, my father-in-law passed away before our wedding. The family lives on ancestral property, inherited from his father. My husband was pressured into signing some documents, and now his brother controls all the income. They refuse to help even with my daughter’s education, despite her being 20 years old. Can she claim a share of the property? What legal steps can we take? My husband sadly supports his brother and isn’t concerned about our daughter’s future. What can I do?

Your daughter may have a claim on the ancestral property, as a daughter-in-law, and can file a partition suit in court. However, your husband’s inaction might complicate the situation. You should consult a lawyer to assess your daughter’s rights and explore legal options, such as filing a case for maintenance and education expenses.
