'A' has a son 'B', a mother 'M' and two wives W1 and W2. 'B' sues 'A' for partition. 'M' will get, under Mitakshara law:
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
M is A's mother and B's paternal grandmother. Under the Mitakshara rule for a partition between a living father and his son, the father's mother does not receive a partition share merely as grandmother. The distinct rules allocating shares to a wife on partition or a mother when sons divide after their father's death do not give M one here. Her right to maintenance is a different entitlement.
