A.Muslim does not create any distinction between the rights of men and women. On the death of their ancestor, nothing can prevent both girl and boy child to become the legal heirs of inheritable property. However, it is generally found that the
quantum of the share of a female heir is half of that of the male heirs. The reason 3 behind this is that under the Muslim law a female shall upon marriage receive mehr and maintenance from her husband whereas males will have only the property of the ancestors for inheritance. I am practising at chennai / madurai district and high courts

A.Hello,
For ancestral property, you have the right over it if the grandfather’s property has not been devolved or is vested absolutely with your father
