My parents have three children: a son and two daughters. My brother didn’t finish his education and has been involved in various businesses, unfortunately losing a significant portion of our father’s property. My sisters and I are married. My brother married a woman who was previously married and has a son from her first marriage. Our family did not accept their marriage, but he still brings her home occasionally and claims he will die if they don’t accept her. He isn’t employed and relies on our parents for financial support. He’s now asking for his share of the property to start another business. Can he or his wife legally claim a share of the property? We are Hindus.
Best Answer
Under Hindu law, your brother is entitled to a share in your father’s property. His wife, even if not accepted by the family, may be entitled to a share in his inheritance depending on the specific circumstances and the nature of the property. However, his previous business losses and dependence on your parents may be considered when determining the share he receives.
