This query is : Resolved
A muslim men died leaving his mother, wife and children ( male & female) . According Islamic sharia law, the mother is entitled 1/6th of son’s estate. Now how this mother can secure her entitlement because her son’s wife ( daughter in law) and associates are trying to neglect or keep away the mother’s rights. Is there any way through court or legally the mother can charge her 1/6th entitlement? Kindly reply.

Two suggestions :- (1)Lodging a complaint under 'Protection of women's rights Act'; (2) Filing a civil suit for 'declaration';
