See if grand father made will for his property then your father is absolute owner of the property. 

If grand father died intestate the aunt has right and all other legal heirs has to make relinquishment deed in favor of dad.

Since she's one of the legal heirs to her deceased father,  and as she was not a party to the transfer of this property to your father,  she is entitled to a share in the property,  hence she can claim her share at any time. 

Your father cannot demand the money spent on her marriage.
