Where on the date the succession opens, the widow is not remarried, she would succeed to the property. But the fact of her remarriage after the succession opens would not disentitle her to the property for the fact that s.14 would have conferred on absolute right in the property so taken by the widow.-Chanda v. Khusala AIR 1983 Patna 33
