Important decision of High Court : The High Court has given a clear verdict on this much talked about question or not, whether the son -in -law is part of the father -in -law’s property. In this decision, the court has said that the son -in -law has no legal right in his father -in -law’s property. Only their children have the right over the property of the father -in -law, and even if the daughter dies, the son -in -law cannot ask for a share in the property.
The High Court has made it clear in its judgment that the son -in -law’s relationship is limited to the wife only, and even in the event of the death of the wife, it can be considered a legal heir to the wife’s share only when there is a child of the wife. If the wife of the wife is alive, then they have the right over the property, not the son -in -law.
According to the court, even after marriage, the daughter’s authority remains on the father -in -law’s property, but this right is transferred to her children after the daughter’s death. In such a situation, the son -in -law’s claim is not legally correct.
This decision of the High Court will guide for many cases in which the son -in -law has claimed a stake in the father -in -law’s property. The court made it clear that the father -in -law’s property belongs only to the legal heirs of his family and there is no legal share in the property of the son -in -law.
