Inheritance question

Dear Querist,

on the death of the husband - succession would open, all children from first wife and second wife - would get equal shares alongwith first wife, second wife would not get any share as her marriage was void. 

As regards documents you can ask for a mandatory injunction(Anton Pillar) whereby the court would order them to deposit the documents in court. 

Dear Mahesh,

According to  the hindu succession act 1956,First wife and children and the children of second wiife will have a share in the property.

You have mentioned that he has married without divorcing the first wife properly,kindly eloborate.

The second marriage was done by misrepresenting information; the husband kind of produced some documents stating he got consent and divorce from first marriage. As the bride & her parents family were not too educated and unware of rules, believed groom side family in good faith as they belonged from close relative circle and got married.

Since the marriage was done with misrepresenting information - isn't she entitled for any succession rights?

Thanks

Can A Husband go for divorce in case His wife harassing him with the help of in-law's

what is the process

Dear Mahesh,

The only option left for the second wife is to file a petition mu/s 493 crpc,that he had concealed the facts about first marriage.But  as the husband is not alive,how far this would benefit her is the concern.

Dear Padam,

"There are no laws to protect a man from being harassed and blackmailed by his wife. The anti-dowry laws are highly biased towards women. How does a man protect himself against constant nagging and suspicion?" questions R P Chugh, a Supreme Court advocate who started a men's advocacy group Crime Against Man Cell aka Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Husbands way back in the 80s to take head on cases of  'false charges of dowry harassment and torture'.

claims, without naming anyone, the top notch of bureaucracy and judiciary of Delhi have, at some point or the other approached him with marital woes, complaining of harassment by their wives.

Chugh says he has long been campaigning for a legislation for 'Protection of Rights and Dignity of Married Men' is immediately required.

"Almost 87 per cent of women lodged in Tihar jail have been booked on anti-dowry complaints," Chugh claims quoting media reports.

Citing a recent case, Chugh says a woman from Haryana was quick to slap a dowry harassment suit on her husband when she was allegedly caught in a compromising situation with her husband's colleague.

Most crime against men go unnoticed as a man's ego does not allow him to admit that the wife regularly attacks him with an assortment of household items, Chugh says.

The lawyer has taken a war of sorts against the society to defend the 'dignity and rights of men in married lives', and holds dharnas every year on Human Rights Day.

"The Dowry (Prohibition) Act safeguards women's rights but unfortunately it can also victimise an innocent man whose wife wants to blackmail him or draw heavy compensation," he says

Although crime against women and domestic violence is a reality, through his chequered career in law, Chugh says he has defended numerous men against false claims of torture, dowry harassment and destroying marital harmony.

A similar 'brother' organisation, which reportedly is thriving in Kolkata [ Images ] has also seen men coming out more often to register their protest against 'exploitation' by wives, he says.

"I have a number of cases with me and the complaints vary from silent resistance-- of refusing to speak to their spouse after a row-- or constant nagging or actual physical violence," he says.

Chugh says that many of the rape charges filed against men are 'fake' and are simply examples of 'a woman scorned'.

However, while feminists have criticised his radical views over the years, Chugh says it hasn't deterred him from pitching for men and will not either in future
