Dear LCI Querist @ Ms. Pallavi Patil

 

Ancestral Property:

Property acquired by the Hindu great grand father, which then passes undivided down the next three generations up to the present generation of great grand son/daughter.……………..i.e. 4 generations old.  

 

Properties inherited from mother, grandmother, uncle and even brother is not ancestral property. Property inherited by will and gift are not ancestral properties.

 

Reassure yourself if the said property is of ancestral nature.

The agricultural land is in which state?

How many other brothers and sisters you have?

What are they doing and what is their age?

What is line of business of your father; business, service?

If service then is it private or government?

It is joint family/father staying together in joint family; If yes who is head of family?

 

Are your Grandparents; Maternal, Paternal alive?

Are elders of the family supportive from Maternal, Paternal ?

What are they doing?

(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.

Pursuasion and even social pressure may or may not deter your father from remarrying.

Any sensible woman or father may not like to marry  herself/daughter to an ABUSER, boozer, wife beater.................

So in case the next woman/family know about ABUSER, boozer, wife beater.................in advance they mat rethink and even may decline to marry...............

 

Otherwise since his 1st wife has deceased, he can legally marry.
