Yes.  If she has no income or property, the father-in-law shall pay maintenance.

DIL can claim maintenance for her from FIL.

Besides, she can claim her husband's share out of his ancestral property along with her children and his own property too at par with other legal heirs.

She can claim maintenance as well as share in ancestral property in terms of personal laws (religion) of deceased.
