My husband and I married in 2012. Sadly, my in-laws haven't quite embraced me as their own. My husband was previously married, and now his elder brother, after our father-in-law passed away, seems to exclude me from family matters. During a recent property settlement, they claimed I'm not entitled to a share because my husband still lives with his previous wife. What can I do to secure my rightful share in the property?

Your in-laws' claim that you're not entitled to a share due to your husband's previous marriage is incorrect. As a legally married wife, you have equal rights to property acquired during your marriage under the Hindu Succession Act, regardless of your husband's past relationships. Consult a lawyer to formally establish your rights and challenge the exclusion.
