(Querist) 25 December 2013 This query is : Resolved 
we are hindu family.our father had bought ppty in 1965.he died in 1982.our mother died in 1970. we are 7 legal heirs ;4 male +3 females. on sister married to a MUSLIM in 1972.Ther is NO WILL.

We are know proceeding for MUTATION.does law prohibits "THAT" married sister [to a muslim] from claiming righe in ppty.

Can we exclude her name in the list of HEIRS ?
Maharashtra state.

By birth she is hindu and her rights are safe.She could continue to be hindu even after marrying a person of other religion.What is the problem for you to give her share.

agreed with Mr. Narsimha. Both your parents died. So what is the problem in giving a share to your sister.
Sudhir Kumar, Advocate (Expert) 25 December 2013
has she converted
Adv Archana Deshmukh (Expert) 25 December 2013
Your sister who is married to a muslim man has the right to get a share in her father's property irrespective of the fact whether she is converted to Islam or not.
Rajendra K Goyal (Expert) 25 December 2013
She has got the share in the property of your father.
Sudhir Kumar, Advocate (Expert) 20 July 2014
not able to agree of disagree.

querist did not commented if she has converted or not.
Anirudh (Expert) 20 July 2014
I do not know how this six months old question has suddenly propped up for answer.

Any way, forgetting for a while whether she converted into any religion or not, looking at the factual position on the death of the parents she was a HINDU. On that day itself she is entitled to a share as a legal heir. What she does subsequent to her entitlement has no bearing on her right.

I fully agree with the views of Adv. Archana.
