Land claim by my sister's husband.
4 months ago
Respected sir/madam, I am from Assam. And I am selling my property. I am male and My sister's husband is trying to take percentage from the selling amount. But my sister is not demanding. By her husbands force she can also demand the percentage. Her husband is govt service holder. He is a government teacher.
My Question is.....Can he or my sister claim money or land if not when a sister claim father's property after marriage. Plz sir give your legal advice.....
A.Dear Client,
After amendments were made in 2005 to the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, women/daughters were given the same right as that of a son to both ancestral and self-acquired property of their parent irrespective of their marital status and the Act is applicable in all states across the country except the state of J & K. A son-in-law, i.e, the husband of your sister has no right to claim a share in the property of his parent-in-law, but your married sister can claim an equal share in the property of her parents or the proceeds arising out of the selling of the property.

A.Dear Client,
In general, a sister does not have a direct legal claim on her father's property after marriage, and her husband also does not have a legal right to demand a percentage from the selling amount of her brother's property. Property rights are typically determined by inheritance laws and the legal heirs mentioned in a person's will, if available. However, cultural and family dynamics can sometimes lead to informal agreements or expectations. It's advisable to consult with a local legal professional who can provide guidance based on specific family and property laws in Assam, considering any cultural nuances that may affect the situation.
Thankyou
