In India, daughters have equal inheritance rights to property acquired by their mother, whether through inheritance, purchase, or gift. They are entitled to an equal share of the property, along with other legal heirs, as per the Hindu Succession Act of 1956.

My father, who had two wives, passed away when I was young. My mother, his second wife, had me and my two sisters. My stepmother, from his first marriage, has a son.

We never knew about this sale and suspect it was done for a very low price. What legal options do I have to protect my family’s rightful claim to this property?
