She has no right in the self acquired property of father in law during his life time. She can claim a share from her husband's share if father in law expire intestate.

And can she ask for the maintenance? Because her father is already earning and can maintain her expenses.

She can claim only after the death of her father-in-law, not during his life time.

About maintenance, you have not mentioned whether she is earning any income or under what circumstances she wants to claim maintenance from her father-in-law?

Her father took her back home

If her father has taken her to his home, merely on that ground she cannot claim any maintenance from her father-in-law.

Daughter in law has NO forced share in self acquired property of Father in law.
Hope by self owned you mean self acquired.

You have fist set only a question paper.
Still members tired to help you. After some time you introduced the fact that it pertains to your family.
It may be better if you give full facts of the case.
You have not stated when / how her husband died.
You have not stated what he was doing.
You have not stated whether any service or insurance benefits were accrued and taken by whom invested where.
Take notice that no legal right of any woman is lost, merely if she had gone to parental home (which generally widows are forced to do to avoid maltreatment).

If she was maltreated and has not been given her share from estate of her husband then she has right to proceed against anyone and everyone that has infringed her rights.
Agreed that mere instance of her father having taken her from matrimonial home to parental home does not limit or end her rights.

Generally, daughter in law is not entitled for maintenance from father in law, she is entitled to take income from her husband's estate or any other benefit if he was in employment.etc.

The DIL can study.
She has a future staring at her.
Who is paying for her FEE, expenses etc!
Her being graduate is of what consequence in the matter as per your own understanding!

If you wish you may post the basis of your post: 'Because her father is already earning and can maintain her expenses.'
