A Hindu widow X got property in succession from her mother. X dies intestate. She leaves after her a brother and her husband's father and mother. Her property would devolve
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Under Section 15(2)(a) of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, property a female inherits from her mother or father devolves, in the absence of her own son or daughter, upon the heirs of her father, so it goes "To her brother" and not to her husband's parents.
