Second wife claim for property

 

Hi All,

This is regarding second wife's (Miss 'z') property right in the below case.

Mr. 'x' married to Miss  'y' in 1974's as per Hindu customs. They have 2 sons. In the year 1992 Mr. 'x' marries again to Miss 'z'  without taking divorce from 1st marriage & without following basic Hindu customs like having a purohith,  friends or relatives attending the occasion, that’s a court marriage. There are 1 children born out of this second relationship.

Mr. 'x' pretends to Miss 'y' that there is nothing like Miss 'z' and he continues to live with Miss 'y'.

Mr 'x' dies in 2014.

Does Miss 'z' become the legal Widow eglible for Mr 'x's property share along with the first wife?

 

Thanks,

   Giri
