Which personal law applies in your case e.g; Hindu?

The property was purchased from self earned/acquired funds?

The nature of estate/property as in query is self acquired/ancestral?

Generically speaking; the sons/daughters/spouse have NO forced share in self earned/acquired estate/property fo parents/spouse in the life time of parents.

Son in law, relatives in law also have NO forced share..in in laws’s property.

Apparently the father has some reasons/apprehensions for such approach that you as daughters must be aware or can find out, discuss and resolve. IT might also be for your long term security/interest. Despite agreeing your father can still leave a share from his estate for you, your in laws by a valid/registered deed. IT is entirely your personal decision to agree.

Otherwise; until given up by a valid/registered deed e.g; relinquishment/gift/Hiba deed etc etc the share in parental/ancestral property does not vanish.

Genericaly speaking; your father might be contemplating some MoU, prenuptial agreement etc etc
