Supreme Court decision: Supreme Court has made it clear, in-laws cannot snatch this right of daughter-in-law

News - (property rights). A woman plays many roles in her in-laws' house, but when it comes to her rights (women's property rights) in that family, the matter is different. 

Now the Supreme Court has given an important decision on the rights of the daughter-in-law (wife's property rights) in her in-laws' house.

The Supreme Court has said that the in-laws cannot deprive the daughter-in-law of this special right. This decision is being discussed everywhere. In one case, the Supreme Court (Supreme court property decision) has completely overturned the decision of the High Court.

This is what the Supreme Court said-

The Supreme Court has given an important verdict in a case related to the dispute between mother-in-law, father-in-law and daughter-in-law. In this, the court has said that the in-laws cannot take away the right of the daughter-in-law to live in the joint house (women's rights for joint property). 

While giving this verdict, the Supreme Court has overturned the decision of the High Court. The Supreme Court has commented that a daughter-in-law cannot be thrown out of the shared house of her in-laws by adopting a quick procedure under the senior citizen law. 

The High Court had given the verdict against the daughter-in-law-

A woman had filed a petition in the Supreme Court against the order of the Karnataka High Court. The High Court had ordered the woman to vacate the shared house of her in-laws. 

The High Court had said that the responsibility of providing shelter to the daughter-in-law lies with her husband and not with her in-laws.

Earlier in this case, the daughter-in-law's mother-in-law and father-in-law had appealed under the provisions of the Senior Citizens Act, 2007. In this, they had requested that their daughter-in-law be evicted from her residence in Bengaluru.

Daughter-in-law has full right to live in the shared house-

Commenting on this matter, the bench of the Supreme Court has said that a daughter-in-law cannot be deprived of her right to live in the shared house of her in-laws (daughter in law's property rights). 

Nor can a daughter-in-law be deprived of her right to live in the house (property rights) by obtaining an order to vacate the house under the Senior Citizens Act.

The Supreme Court said that the purpose of this law protecting the interests of senior citizens is to prevent them from becoming helpless. 

But on this basis, the daughter-in-law cannot be deprived of her right to live in the house under any circumstances. The daughter-in-law has the full right to live in the shared house of her in-laws (parents in law's property).

A daughter-in-law cannot claim her right on the self-acquired property of her in-laws. In this, it is up to the in-laws to decide who they want to give this property to and who they don't. The matter of joint property of the in-laws becomes another matter.

Right of daughter-in-law in her husband's ancestral property- 

If the husband has ancestral property in his in-laws' house, then the daughter-in-law can have rights in it in two ways. Firstly, if the husband transfers his property rights to the wife, then the daughter-in-law can have rights over it. 

Second, the daughter-in-law gets the right to the property after the death of the husband. The daughter-in-law cannot directly ask for her share in the in-laws' property.
