Hello Sir,

I'm not living with my wife since 15 years and i have not divorced her, i have inherited a very small portion from my father's property in which i have developed an house for me from my own earnings. and i got married to my relative from elders advice. i have not registered both the marriages.

Will my first wife and my daughter from the first wife have a claim on my property?

Please advise.

Thanks

Your daughter has got share in your ancestral property though your wife has not.
However, in the eye of law your second wife has got no lega standing or recognition.

If the first marriage was a customary one it will be treated as legal marriage and registration is not mandatory and if you die intestate I think your first wife ,daughter and your mother will get share upon your property (Mr Devajyothi please correct me if I am not correct).Then the second marriage will not stand in the eye of law.It is better to execute a WILL if you want to avoid your first wife and daughter.
