The Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that a woman’s inheritance could only be claimed in her lifetime and her children could not lay a claim after her death.
The apex court issued the ruling in a case wherein the children of two deceased women, who were residents of Peshawar, claimed a share in their maternal grandfather, Isa Khan’s property.
Isa Khan had transferred his property to his son, Abdul Rehman, in 1935, without giving a share to either of his two daughters. Neither of his daughters had challenged the move in their lifetime to claim their right on their father’s property.
