Supreme Court News: In-laws cannot deprive daughter-in-law of these rights, important decision came out

Wife's property: The Supreme Court has recently made it clear that the in-laws cannot take away the right of any daughter-in-law to live in a joint house, whether the house is hers or in the name of her husband/father-in-law. 

Women have been given many rights in the law. The daughter-in-law also gets family and legal rights in her in-laws' house. The Supreme Court (SC decision on property) has given an important decision on the rights of the daughter-in-law in her in-laws' house. 

The Supreme Court said in this that the in-laws can never take away this right of the daughter-in-law. Let us see what the court has said about this.

A woman plays many roles in her in-laws' house, but when it comes to the property rights of women in the family, the matter is different. Now the Supreme Court has given an important decision on the rights of the daughter-in-law in her in-laws' house.

The Supreme Court ruled that the in-laws cannot deprive the daughter-in-law of this special right. Questions are being raised on this decision. The Supreme Court has completely overturned the decision of the High Court in a case.

The Supreme Court said

The Supreme Court has given an important decision in a case related to a dispute between mother-in-law, father-in-law and daughter-in-law. In this, the court said that the daughter-in-law's in-laws cannot take away her right to live in the shared house. 

The Supreme Court has overturned the decision of the High Court. The Supreme Court said that no daughter-in-law can be thrown out of the shared house of her in-laws, prompt action is required under the Senior Citizens Act. 

The High Court had given the decision against the daughter-in-law

A woman had filed a petition in the Supreme Court against the order of the Karnataka High Court. The High Court had ordered the woman to leave the shared house of her in-laws. 

The High Court ruled that the daughter-in-law's shelter is that of her husband instead of her in-laws. Earlier, the daughter-in-law's in-laws had appealed under the provisions of the Senior Citizens Act, 2007. In this, their daughter-in-law should be evicted from their house in Bengaluru.

Daughter-in-law has full right to live in the shared house

The Supreme Court bench said in this case that a daughter-in-law cannot be denied the right to live in the shared house of her in-laws. Nor can a daughter-in-law be denied the right to live in the house by getting an order to vacate the house under the Senior Citizens Act. 

The Supreme Court said that the purpose of this law is to not let senior citizens become helpless. But on this basis, the daughter-in-law cannot be denied her right to live in the house under any circumstances. The daughter-in-law has the full right to live in the shared house of her in-laws.

Wife's right on self-earned property of her in-laws

Self-acquired property of husband and wife, or self-acquired property, cannot claim its right. In this, it is the decision of the parents-in-law as to whom to give this property (property knowledge). The case of joint property of husband and wife is different.

Daughter-in-law's right in husband's ancestral property -  

If the husband's in-laws have ancestral property (ancestral property rights), then the daughter-in-law can get rights in two ways. The first thing is that if the husband transfers his property to the wife, then the daughter-in-law can have rights over it. 

Second, the daughter-in-law gets property rights when the husband dies. The daughter-in-law cannot directly ask for her share in her in-laws' property.
