Can I claim my husband's property despite my in-laws' objections?
I sold my land in 2006, and within two months, my husband purchased properties in his name using my money, as he was a house husband. He died in 2021, and now my in-laws have filed a case in court regarding my husband's property shares according to Muslim law. I have bank transactions showing the money transferred from my account to his. Is it not a crime to misuse the court for wrong reasons? My in-laws claim that because I am non-Muslim, my children and I cannot claim the property. I have all the necessary documents.
Since you used your money to purchase properties in your husband's name, you may have a claim to those properties based on the financial contributions you made. Documenting the bank transactions that show these transfers will be crucial in establishing your claim. Under Muslim law, inheritance rights are typically determined by the deceased's religion at the time of death. If your husband was Muslim and you are not, this could complicate your claim to his property. However, your children may still have rights to inherit from their father, regardless of your religious status. Seek guidance from a family law attorney experienced in property and Muslim inheritance disputes. They can help you build a strong case and consider options like mediation to reach a fair agreement with your in-laws.
Ma’am, firstly you should try to resolve the matter in an amicable way by considering mediation with your in laws and if still the matter remains unresolved then you can file a counterclaim or challenge your in-laws’ assertions in court, emphasizing that you contributed financially to the property and that you have legal rights.
