flag The Supreme Court ruled a childless Muslim widow inherits one-fourth of her husband’s estate under Islamic law, rejecting claims of prior sale.

flag The Supreme Court ruled that a childless Muslim widow is entitled to one-fourth of her husband’s estate under Islamic inheritance law, upholding the Bombay High Court’s decision. flag The court clarified that an agreement to sell does not transfer ownership if no registered deed was issued, leaving the property as part of the deceased’s estate. flag It rejected claims by the husband’s brother that the property had been transferred, reaffirming that inheritance follows fixed shares: one-fourth for a childless widow, one-eighth if there are children. flag The court also criticized the poor English translation of a lower court’s judgment, stressing the need for accuracy in legal documents to ensure fair proceedings.
