This query is : Resolved
I am Hindu.
My Grandfather has three sons: A1(eldest) ,A2 & A3 and three daughters. A1 got married with W1 in 1983. After 1 year he dead & left behind a son B1 and wife. According to family decision now A2 got married with A1's wife. They had then two daughters and one son B2. In the year 1998, A2 married with W2 of another city (city of maternal uncle). He also paid 5 laks rupees to the mother and brother of W2. (No evidence). Due to social and family pressure he left second wife and send back to her mother's home after 1 month. During this period they were living in another house bought by A2. W1 with her 4 children were living with family in the paternal house on the name of grand mother. Meanwhile A2 used to visit second wife 2-3 times in a year.Demand of money from W2 and her brothers went on increasing. Finally A2 realized the fact and left second wife W2 forever. Till then he had lost almost of his savings and land bought by him. We did not have any record and savings of father (A2). He sold two lands purchased by him in 2007 & 2009 and gave the money to second wife and her brother for living. He had a son of age 14-15 years with second wife. (We have not seen him till the death of father). After 2002 they (second wife W2 & her family did not disturb us in any way. But after death of father she along with her son and brothers came to my house, took part in funeral against my family's will. Her brother took photographs of the son and sister with dead body of father. Also took photograph of son of her sister with funeral (providing fire to dead body). When i warned him against it, they returned their home with second wife and her son along with photographs.
Now they are threatening my family on phone to give the property, house and money. According to them Father got married in court and with Hindu riti also.(we have no knowledge)
Since they are from the maternal city of my father and very close to maternal uncles, they did so (second marriage) for the wealth of my father and paternal land property. At initial time they were poor but now they have good property due to my father.
I am the son of A1, but on education certificates and voter i card my father is A2. When i was 1 year old, A1 dead. I and my family did not get any respect & money from my father A2. We were mainly helped from my maternal family. My grandfather was died before the second marriage of Father. I taught students and earned some money, got selected in engineering college. After engineering, took job in central government. I took medical facility for my second father (A2) for treatment of his Cataract , Diabetes and high BP. He was fully dependent on me since 2012 when got paralysis attack. No one from the house of second wife came to meet or helped any more. During 2012 to till date my father did not contacted them at all. They also assumed that now their game of taking money from A2 has over. So they did not visit to my home any more.
But after his death, they suddenly came and demanded for home, property and money. They have good relation with S.P. of his city (another district) according to them.
What is good for me and my family?
