About the Book
Family Law–2 is a comprehensive book that explores the legal framework governing inheritance and succession in India. It examines the diverse personal laws applicable to different religious communities and explains how inheritance rights vary according to religion, region, tribal affiliation, and other relevant factors. The book discusses the rules governing intestate succession among Hindus, along with the legal principles relating to wills, gifts, and gifts made during marz-ul-maut (death-bed dispositions). It provides an overview of the fundamental principles of Hindu and Muslim inheritance and succession laws. The book offers a detailed study of the traditional Hindu Joint Family system and the concept of coparcenary. It explains the classification of property possessed by a Hindu and the rights, powers, duties, and responsibilities of the Karta. The book examines the legal rules governing alienation and partition of joint family property. It discusses the evolution of coparcenary property and the succession to separate property under Hindu law. Special attention is given to the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, and the corresponding principles of succession under Muslim law. The book highlights the legal significance of wills, gifts, and the transfer of property through inheritance. It explains the complexities of India's pluralistic legal system, where different personal laws operate alongside one another. Written by Rajeev Girdhar, Advocate, the book reflects a professional approach to legal analysis, statutory interpretation, and the presentation of legal principles. It is a valuable reference for law students, academicians, researchers, legal practitioners, and others interested in inheritance and succession laws. With 1,070 pages, the book provides an extensive resource for understanding property rights, succession rules, and the legal principles governing family property in India. Overall, Family Law–2 offers an in-depth understanding of inheritance, succession, and property distribution under Indian personal laws, making it a useful resource for both academic study and legal practice.
