What is the right of a widow in a property under Dayabhaga School?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
Under the Dayabhaga school, each coparcener holds a definite share, which on his death passes to his heirs, including his widow. The widow therefore steps into his place: she "becomes a coparcener with her husband's brother and can demand partition". Under the old Mitakshara law, by contrast, a widow had only a right of maintenance.
