Sir,

    I would like clarify ...........

    My wife's father had brought 2 properties in the name of his wife (i.e my mother - in - law) and she is alive. We are Christians and so the Christian law of             partition would be applicable.......I think so.

    Any way, this is the situation!

    Thanking you for taking your time.

  Regds,

  Anthony. 

Anthony,

Being christians , you will be guided by the Indian succession Act. From the facts of your case, since your mother in law is alive, she is legally the absolute owner of the 2 properties and she is legally free to disribute the property to whomsoever she wishes to. Your wife cannot legally seek a partition at this point of time. However if your mother in law dies intestate( without leaving behind a will ) , then your wife is entitled to 1/6th share in the property that your mother in law has not gifted or partitioned during her life time.
