Q1.Can widow claim husband’s ancestral property after remarriage ? If Hindu widow gets remarried, can she claim Right on property of her expired husband. Neither Will is made nor nomination is registered , what is property rights of widow after remarriage ?
Advocate Gowaal Padavi answered
In 2008, the Supreme Court also held that a widow, who remarries cannot be deprived of her share in her dead husband’s property despite a change in her marital status.While giving a verdict on a case on March 5, the Delhi court announced that a widow has the right over the property purchased by her husband in her name and her daughter and son-in-law cannot lay claim on it. This verdict was given when the court was deciding on the case of 65-year-old Lajwanti Devi, who had moved the court against her daughter and son-in-law. The two had refused to vacate a portion of the Shastri Nagar house her husband bought in her name. Additional District Judge Kamini Lau, held the woman as the owner of the house her husband purchased in 1966 in his wife’s name to “provide her a secure life” after his death and her daughter and son-in-law were only having “permissive possession” of the house.
