Dear Client,

Conversion for the purpose of marriage is void and prohibited relationship examines from and by birth which cannot be change y converting into other religion.

Except where a custom governing at least one of the parties permits of a marriage between them, such marriage may be solemnized, notwithstanding that they are within the degrees of prohibited relationship;

Hindu converted into other religion is not disqualified to claim the property ..under section 26 of hindu succession act .

2) under Section 26, though the children of converts are not Hindu by birth due to conversion of their parents and so they are not covered under the Hindu Succession Act, their parents (converts) are Hindu by birth, cannot be disqualified for their ..inheritance of their father who is a Hindu because their father’s property and inheritance are governed by the Hindu Succession Act....

3) in case your father dies intestate you can inherit your father property

4) father can change his will during his lifetime

Earlier, if a legal heir converted into another religion, it could mean forfeiture and exclusion from the family property. However, under the provisions of the Caste Disabilities Removal Act, 1850, as stated in the E Ramesh and Anr. versus P Rajini and 2 Others case, things have changed. Now, a Hindu convert will not lose right over father's property even after renouncing his religion. However, according to Section 26 of the Hindu Succession Act, a convert's child/children will be disqualified from inheriting the property of their Hindu relatives unless they are Hindus at the time.

So you wont loose any right over the property,

Dear,

Not possible, because in law some things are not changed with religion changed.

She is your sister according to Hindu law and religion change, can't change this.

Dear Concerned,

Let's be practical - As per Hindu Religion , you are in love with you Sister - your bua's daughter. We are preety sure your parents dont know about this. Look at the other aspect - the chances of Genetic Disorders in kids are extremely high if the child is procreated between siblings. Hence it is not wise to get into this relationship.

On other hand yes following Muslim law will come handy for this marriage but yes it will have challenges of inheritance laws.

Best of luck

If you change your religion to Islam then you will have no connection with your family and hence you can marry her. Share can be given by the father in Self acquired property but not in ancestral property.will is valid as far as self acquired property is concerned.

As soon as you change the religion you will lose all the rights on the ancestral property.

Your dad might revoke the will or might make another will if you change your religion.

If there's a will, even if you change your religion, there will be no effect on the will and you can still claim your property in light of the will.

It would be even better if your father may pass on this property to you under a gift deed during his lifetime.

1. Under Muslim personal laws, such marriages are permissible but to register the marriage you may have to register the same under special marriage act only.

2. This may not come under degree of prohibited relationship under Muslim Personal law.

But in general the Muslim clergy wont accept the conversion for this purpose alone, hence you may have to look for the ways to get through.

biggest problem is

i am hindu

if i change my religion from hindu to islam.

i wont be getting any share from ancestral property and self acquired property of my dad ?

is this true ?

You have been wrongly informed about it. The intestate succession under Hindu Succession laws states that you belong to the religion under which you took birth for succeeding to the estates as a successor in interest.

my dad already made a will in my name. is that will be valid even if i change my religion to Islam.

The Will shall be in force and valid until your father has not cancelled or revoked it during his lifetime.

1. If both of you convert to Islam then legally there will be no bar to marriage. You can remain Hindu and be in a live in relationship though.

2. Even if you convert to Islam you will not suffer any disqualification to inheritance. However, your dad will be free to revoke the will that he has made in your favour.
