Indian law is trying to combine Western Law with Indian/Hindu culture law.
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Sons have right to demonstrate their stakes being part of the family and stake ownership against an agreeable amount that is not at market value of the house in terms of sharing?. Of course, when Sons gave money to family, they never asked for documents and proof spending etc. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
In this case, Court case will be dragged for 10- 15 yrs and you will get nothing. There is no point having so many laws when one can't implement or or one will get justice after 20 years.
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin--> I'm in a situation that I have spent a lot, and now that is all trashed.. they don't even consider such expenses, and its all about property now. If it goes to court, I am sure the court would want to sell the house and distribute the money among coparceners. But that is not what the intention was to build a house and its maintenance year long. The land ownership document is not Son's and this is where our law fails <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
In this case, only owner of the property can do justice and leave a Will. If there is no Will, then this is a disputed property and whatever you have spent is a waste.
<b>Like lot of other people do, ask sisters to give up her rights from property, which is very common practice. </b>
<b>It is very important to leave a Will.</b>
Vedic/ancient Hindu custom/culture were very different, there was no dowry etc was involved. Now parents spend equal amount of money on boys and girls education. In some case equal amount in marriage. In these case, if after marriage if only boys are taking care of parents then portion according to contribution should go to son.<b> But only parents can decide this. So Will is very important.</b>
In west daughter and son either contribute equal amount or they don't do at all. In India parents still stays with sons and in north India parents when visit married daughters house they don't even drink water from that house and leave "Sagan", which could be cash or goods. When we have these customs, it is wrong to equally divide property.

Laws are creating inequality. I am woman and strongly oppose some law which are so-called empowering woman are nonsense and will destroy marriage and family. So much power had given to daughter-in-laws that had made them worst abuser. One side woman asks for equal rights on otherside they want reserved seats in bus and trains. Why?
