A Christian lady dies survived by her husband, her mother and no child. What share of her property will her husband inherit ?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Under Section 33(b) read with Section 35 of the Indian Succession Act, 1925, which governs intestate succession among Indian Christians, where the intestate leaves no lineal descendant but leaves kindred, the surviving spouse takes one-half of the property and the other half goes to the kindred, a surviving husband having the same rights in his wife's property as a widow has in her husband's. The mother is kindred, so the husband inherits "Half of the property".
