You have given incomplete information such as the property as stated to be in the name of BIL or MIL is a share of ancestral or self-acquired property.

Probably the property is not ancestral otherwise your husband is a coparcener (by birth) and has to be a co- sharer. You can have a share in ancestral property through (after) your husband. However, your daughter has a share out of her father's share.

Contact and consult a local lawyer.

A woman has a right over the property of her husband but she cannot claim a right to live in the house of her parents-in-law, against their wishes.

You can not claim any right over the property of your in- laws .

DR. Vashista has explained the matter.

Pls revert to the points raised by Dr.Vashista.

Dr. Vashista lucidly explained the position.  Pl. find out the status of the property-ancestral or self acquired.  That determines your and your daughter's rights.

If you are not knowing anything about the property, how did you know that your husband or your daughter or yourself have a share in the said property?  First of all, even if it is your father-in-law's property, neither your husband nor anyone can claim a share in the property until he decides to give them a share in it.  It is better you consult a local lawyer and take decision to sue your father in law seeking share in the property on behalf of yur husband.

Contact, consult and engage a local lawyer so that your case can be pursued in a professional manner in your own interest and benefit.

You do not have any right over the property of in laws.  Instead of that you insist your husband to ask for his share.  If there is no action, ask your husband to file partition suit (if it is ancestral in nature).  If it is self acquired property of your in laws, then you cannot demand them.  You can only request them to transfer some of the property on your husband name.
