Daughter's right in father's self acquired property

I am heading for a divorce but my husband does not own a property. Therefore, in order to get a house to live I wish to claim in my father's self acquired property. Though my father has already transferred the house in my brother's name few years ago, can I still claim in his property? As per the modern law if a married daughter does  not have a house to live in she can claim in her father's property. My situation is even worse because I do own a house from either sides. So, in order to get an accomodation, can I claim and get a share in my father's property?

Please guide me.

Go thru:

Central Government Act

Section 20 in The Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act, 1956

 

20. Maintenance of children and aged parents.— (1) Subject to the provisions of this section a Hindu is bound, during his or her lifetime, to maintain his or her legitimate or illegitimate children and his or her aged or infirm parents.

(2) A legitimate or illegitimate child may claim maintenance from his or her father or mother so long as the child is a minor.

(3) The obligation of a person to maintain his or her aged or infirm parent or a daughter who is unmarried extends in so far as the parent or the unmarried daughter, as the case may be, is unable to maintain himself or herself out of his or her own earnings or other property. Explanation.—In this section “parent” includes a childless step-mother.

After all its matter of principle.

 

You may not agree but your posts to me in some threads are not in good taste.Still I have been nice and gentle to you.

I am asking you to help the Lady in this thread and daughters and sisters and brother in other thread.

For your help and support the extent links and clauses have already been mentioned.

The Lady in this thread is unable to understand the material provided by Mr. Kapil Chandna.

 

You must help her there also.

Daughter or any person does not have any right in the self acquired property of her father and father is free to deal with such property as he may think proper.
