The Delhi High Court has clarified in an important decision that the daughter-in-law has no legal right over the in-laws’ movable and immovable property, whether the property is ancestral or the mother-in-law has earned himself. The court pronounced this decision in the case in which a woman filed an appeal for her father -in -law’s right to live in her father -in -law’s house.
The bench of Chief Justice Rajendra Menon and Justice V. Kameshwar Rao dismissed the woman’s appeal and said that if the interest of the mother-in-law is connected in a property, then the daughter-in-law does not have any right to her. The court also added that it does not matter whether the property is ancestral or acquired himself, the daughter -in -law cannot claim that unless she was legally given any right.
Under this decision, the High Court upheld the order given by the District Magistrate, in which the woman was instructed to vacate her father -in -law’s house. This order was already maintained by single bench in July, which was now considered correct by the bench.
The court, referring to the laws made for the welfare of senior citizens, said that the elderly have every right to stay in their home with peace and dignity. The mother-in-law can not only make her son or daughter, but also the daughter-in-law out of her house, if they feel unsafe or uncomfortable.
This decision has made it clear that the law does not give any right to the daughter -in -law to stay in her in -laws, unless the property is in her name or has been specially given such right. This decision is being considered a strong step towards protecting the rights of senior citizens.
