Title: Help Needed: My mamas are threatening my mom over her share in nani’s house
Post:
Hi everyone, I need legal advice regarding a family property issue.
My maternal grandfather (nana) built a house. After his death, the property seems to have been transferred to my maternal grandmother (nani). My nana and nani have 6 children — 3 sons (my mamas) and 3 daughters (including my mom).
Now, my mamas are threatening my mom and telling her to give up her 1/6th share in the house. However, my mom wants to claim her rightful share. We are worried they might try to illegally sell the property without her consent or forge documents.
I have a few questions:
What steps can we take to protect my mom’s share in the property?
Can my mamas sell the house without my mom’s consent?
Should we file some kind of legal notice or stay order?
How do we officially claim my mom’s 1/6th share?
Is there any law under which my mom can claim and secure her share?
We don’t want any fights, but we want to secure my mom’s rights properly. Any advice on how to proceed legally would be very helpful.
Thank you!

QAmazing to see men in 2025 pushing morality to persuade women to give up their rights! Get a lawyer and chase the property. If they have already forged documents, you need to take court action or you will be stuck in a long legal battle once a deal is made..

SBecause they are greedy AF (note how the other sisters didn’t ask for a share of the property because they understand). I have seen daughters who demand dowry and grooms who don’t want any of it during the marriage, but later they still ask for an equal share of the property.

WYour bua should also claim her part from your grandfather’s property . Legally she should inherit half of everything your grandfather owned (Assuming father and only one sister)

BMorally If your mom served your nana and nani then it’s okay which in case you didn’t explained but are greedy to get property and money shows deep down even you know it’s not good but world doesn’t work the way so when you are playing strategies they are doing it too in my opinion the one who took care of the elder parents and one who took them within their house should mostly get the inheritance other than that you can get property and share from your father side as in India it’s mostly the common case.

KThis is some BS.
Ppl saying women should get property only they took care of their parents needs.
2 problems. 1st – this does not apply to sons that don’t take of their parents. They still get the property.
2nd – you assuming women don’t take care of their parents. Men take care of them in old age and maybe in youth as well. But they conveniently forget, the daughter’s work they did in house before getting married. Who used to help mother in the kitchen, who used to clean the utensils, cook, clean, wash along with mother. Does taking care counts only when they are old. Or just hospital visits count as serving.
There are so many who helps their brothers with things even after they married.
If they want bigger portion coz they are helping, that is understandable. But saying direct no, is morally and legally wrong.

YThis law is actively destroying families. Hindu properties keep on shrinking. Nobody can have generational wealth anymore. Families are always in Kalesh mode. Even bedridden Parents are harassed for property.
You are entitled to your parents property only if you take care of them tn their old age till their death. -

RWill you give ur share of property to ur sister in future?
Ur mom is married so ur father’s property is her property not her brother’s plus did u and ur father gave the share of ur property to ur bua

MLegally yes. Morally, please ask yourself. Did your mom look after your nana and nani? Spend for their expenses? Hospital visits, medicines? If all the things were done by your mamas, then please let it go.
In future, sons need to be really careful about their spending on their parents i.e. daily expenses, vacations, gold, medical expenses. One of the reasons parents don’t need that much money is because of their sons. If the daughters are getting equal properties, responsibilities must be shared amongst all the siblings. By the way, I am a woman and saying this.-
KNana nani had 3 sons. Lets assume they are staying with eldest son. All their needs will be taken care by eldest son. Does that mean younger sons don’t have a right to property?
And we know this is usually the case, where parents stay with one son, and other sons stay in their own homes with their family.
Usually in such cases, son with whom parents are staying, gets a little extra property to cover the expenses or to compensate. Usually Nani’s share after husband’s death or something.
So if sons still receive the property even if they are not actively involved, why not daughter.
And i don’t see it mentioned that OP’s mother never helped mama or nani. Usually they do. Sometimes staying an helping when somebody is sick.
And if they gave dowry, they received as well. 3 given, 3 received.
A daughter has equal right to parents property, legally and morally.
It was always known. It didn’t come into realisation just now.
If they think they spent extra on her marriage make it clear at the time, we will spend from ur portion.
In case of genrational wealth, the amount of dowry, if given, is very small compared to inheritance.
I don’t know why ppl say its greedy to ask for your right.

DEveryone is talking about dowry but 💀
mama log ko bhi unki wife side se dowry mili hogi na gadho🥹🥹and before you say nhi mili hogi. Op ki mummy ka time 6 bhai bhen. So this is Obv not modern generation. Uss time to bina dowry ke shaadi rare to rare cases mai hoti thi. Even dowry specially at that time was for groom’s family.

FSo many 🤡 men in comment section
In gadho ko dowry bhi chaiye, full property bhi chahiye but agar financial security ke liye biwi alimony maang le to suar ki tarah rone lagte haiAnd about taking care of parents, majority men ne kabhi apne parents ka rumal tak nahi dhoya hai, saari sewa shaadi se pehle behen karti hai and phir bahu

GIs it really important to get that share?
If you are from a well-to-do family, you live a better lifestyle, then leave it to them.
They married their sisters, kuch diya bhi hoga daan/dahej!
Now their sister is your mother, do whatever you can in your capacity for your mother.
Better reserve relations, instead of going for 1/6th share.
Your mama must be having their own family, unke liye chhod do.
Rishte bnaye rakho.
Personally I have never eyed to my nana-nani’s property nor anyone in my house hopes for it. Humara family alag hai unki alag, jo humara hai he nahi uski kya aas!
Believe in yourself! Khud ko bnao bhai!
Baki jaise tumhe theek Lage. -

SKeep relationship over money until you or your dad aren’t able to provide you a shelter! And don’t be that bua whom everyone hates. Paisa itna kya important hogya ki rishte nate kuch matter nahi krte. Mama log pyaar se jo de lelo. When my mama got the property in his name, my dad told my mother to not even take a box of sweet (cuz my mom shouldn’t ask anything in this context) Relationships are really hard to preserve these days.

HI have a different take on this . First of all you need to figure out among all children of your Nana and Nani , had anybody contributed financially over the years to your Nana or Nani of any of the domestic matter it can be for there health care or for domestic expenses . Who was taking care of your Nana and Nani in their old age period and bearing all expenses from his/her pocket . In typical Indian family in most cases usually sons take care of these matters and that’s why sisters don’t interfere during property distribution among sons after demise of the parents .
