Property in name of wife

A wife inherits a property  by virtue of property purchased by her husband on her name (she does have no earning or income as she is not employed and doesn't have any source of income to purchase a property). After few years of her husband demise, she decides to sell off the property and decides to pay nothing to his 2 sons. Does any law prevent her to sell this property until a consent for selling of property is granted by her children ?? If she has already sold off the property , can any one of her children make claim for his/or her 1/3rd portion (on pro-rata calculation considering mother+2 children) ? what happen to party who purchased this property  and not aware about no legal consent among mother & children to sell property ??

if the property is in her name then she is the sole owner of the property either she has purchased it or not or purchased by her husband and given it to her , she has all rights over it she can use it as she wish she can sell it without taking any consent from anybody /her children , she cannot restrain to do so , better make amicable solution with her by putting pressure through your relatives and near & dear ones not to sell the property.

Being the absolute owner she can give away the property in her life time in a manner as she pleases.

She can sell, bequeath, transfer, gift.............................whatever she wants to do with it without the need for seeking anyone's consent.
