Yes, she will be considered as single girl child and legal heirs.

 

1) for your father's property distribution both wives share will be equal 50-50%.

 

2) So in this way daughter will get 50% share and both sons will have 25%-25%= 50% share.

The sons of your father with his previous wife would be considered as your half brothers as per law, even if your mothers were different as the father of all three is still the same.

Whether the said marriage is legal? She will anyways have share in fathers property.  She will be a single girl child from second wife

It is not clear whether the second wife got married with your father during the existence of his first wife.

If he married after death or divorce of his first wife then children from all sides will inherit his properties in equal share.

If the second marriage was done while the first marriage was not dissolved then the second marriage though is void , the child born out of void marriage can inherit the self acquired property of her father.

Dear client 

That daughter will not be considered as single girl child as she have two brothers and all are from same father. It doesn't matter that they have different mothers.
