A Hindu wife is entitled to claim maintenance after the death of her husband from her father-in-law…

Section 19 of HAMA provides the qualifying widowed daughter-in-law’s maintenance claim against her father-in-law. It depends on her inability to maintain herself from the sources identified in subsection (1), and subsection (2) limits the father-in-law’s obligation by reference to specified coparcenary property in his possession and terminates it on remarriage. The question asks the enabling provision, not an unconditional personal liability.
