Brother-in-law can divide brother-in-law's land; understand the legal rules of division

Jhansi. The division of property and land often becomes a cause of dispute. The division of property in the family becomes a big issue. A question also arises whether daughters have rights over the property or not. If a person dies and he has no will, then how will the property be divided between his son and daughter. What is the procedure if the daughter is married.

daughter's equal share

To know the answer to this, we spoke to Dr. Lal Krishna, OSD of Bundelkhand Industrial Development Authority. He told that according to the Uttar Pradesh Revenue Code, property is equally divided between unmarried daughters and sons. If the daughter wants, she can give up her share of the property after her marriage. Pressure cannot be put on the daughter for this.

Consent is very important

Dr. Lal Krishna told that if the dispute related to partition reaches the Sub-Divisional Magistrate i.e. SDM court, then the consent of all the shareholders whose names are written in the government document is necessary. In this, it is also necessary to take the consent of the daughter and sister. Only after this the process can move forward. In many court decisions it has been made clear that the daughter also has equal rights in the property. Their consent is necessary before any partition.
