Under Indian law, your daughter could have a claim to the ancestral property. Even though your wife chose not to claim her share, your daughter, as a direct descendant, could inherit a portion of the property based on the laws of intestacy or through a legal challenge.

My father built a two-story house on a portion of our family land in 2002. The land is primarily in my grandmother’s name. My uncle has been living there since then, making decisions without consulting anyone else. My father, being the elder brother, never wanted to upset him. He built the house honestly, using only a third of the land. Sadly, my father passed away recently, leaving us without any income. My uncle refuses to register the property in my mother’s name, despite our situation, and even physically assaulted my grandfather. What can we do?

What legal options does she have to reclaim what rightfully belongs to her?

My father passed away, leaving behind a house for my two brothers, two sisters, and myself. The court awarded me a 25% share, each of my other brothers received 25%, and the remaining 25% went to my father’s share. I bought out one brother’s 25% share and he signed the legal documents transferring his portion to me. However, this brother is still living in the house and refuses to move out. How can I legally claim my 55% share (my 25%, the 25% I purchased, and 5% of my father’s share) of the house?

I bought a flat in 2014 and paid service charges for the under-construction property.

When should I consult with an expert?

Previous Article I got married on 15th March 2015, and my wife has been living with me ever since. However, for the past month, she, along with her parents, has been constantly harassing me, threatening to harm me, and even using goons to intimidate me. They have also filed false cases to ruin my career because I want to pursue civil services. I want to seek a divorce based on cruelty. How can I do this safely, without them filing further false accusations against me? We did not have any intimate relations for the first 40 days of our marriage, and even after that, it only happened under duress. She refuses to engage in any such activity. Is there any legal provision requiring compensation in such a case, especially since we didn’t take any dowry?
