Indian succession act

If the father dies depriving his wife and daughter of the two flats purchased with his own income and registering them in the name of the son, will the wife get back her rights under the Indian Succession Act? If she can,  then how?

She can file maintenance against her son only.

No, Since  properties were husband's self acquired properties so he had every right to transfer the properties to anyone as per his wish. Wife can't claim any right/share over husband's such properties.

Hi,

Rights of wife in the property depends on the religious act under which the marriage is registered. However, the daughters have a right to share in the father's self acquired property, irrespective of their marital status.

I hope this helps.

Have a good day!
