Please clarify my doubt, My great grand mother had a property in her name and the same was given to her daughter which is my grandmother (First wife of my grand father) and intern the same was settled to her children's,
Doubt -Grandfather had 2 wife's, can the settled property again be partitioned between family of first wife children's and second wife and to his children's?
if done is that valid?

The property given as gift to first wife shall be her own and absolute property and there is no legal infirmity in it subsequently if that property was subsequently transferred by the grandmother to her own children without giving any share to the second wife or her children,

A second wife cannot claim the property of the first wife unless she has legally inherited it through a a gift deed.
