My husband is a government employee, having inherited his father’s job after his passing. His father had two wives, the first sadly deceased. Now, his stepmother, who lives separately and receives a pension of around ₹8,000, is demanding that my husband build her a house. He has refused, but she’s threatening to file a legal case against him. Is her claim valid? Furthermore, she often tries to guilt him by saying he only got the job because of her.

Under Indian law, your husband’s stepmother has no legal right to demand a house from him. Her claims are baseless and likely an attempt to pressure him. Her pension and separate living arrangements suggest she is financially independent and not reliant on him.

My father, a resident of Maharashtra, passed away a few years ago without leaving a will. He owned 8 acres of farmland and a house, both acquired through his own hard work. He is survived by my mother, two sons (myself and my brother), and two daughters who were married before 1994. I have a few questions regarding the inheritance: 1. As my sisters were married before 1994, what is their rightful share in the farmland and the house? 2. Since my father earned the property himself, can my mother claim the entire estate for herself?

My father recently passed away, and we were allotted a 1BHK flat in Santacruz East under the SRA scheme. The flat is currently in his name, and we’re looking to transfer the ownership to my mother.

Could you please guide us on how to transfer the ownership of an SRA flat from a husband to his wife after his passing?

Our new residents’ association started charging per hour for using the billiards table and yoga room this month, on top of our regular maintenance fees. This wasn’t the case before when the builder managed things. Our association rules say we can’t use any facilities for commercial purposes. They say this fee is to stop beginners from using the billiards table and damaging it. Is this allowed? Can we fight this legally? Are these extra charges considered commercial?

Previous Article My grandfather divided his property among his children, including my father, but he passed away before signing the official documents. My father is also deceased, and I don’t have any paperwork to prove my inheritance. My aunts are living on the property that was supposed to be my father’s, and the boundaries are clearly defined. Is there a way to claim my share of the property without any documentation? I’m hoping for a helpful solution.
