Hi thanks for your quick respnose. then what about this following section.Section 16 of the Hindu Marriage Act, there is no difference between children born out of the first maarriage and the second marriage. All children whether of 1st wife or 2nd wife have equal rights in the property of the father.

adv. rajeev ( rajoo ) (Expert) 10 March 2011
children born out of void marriage are entittle to claim the share in the self acquired property of the father but not in the ancestral property.
