Division of property between daughter and daughter-in-law
My uncle had built a house in a small Karnataka town (a self-earned property) and passed away in 2002 without leaving any will. My aunt also passed away in 2014 without leaving any will. They had a son, who passed away in 2007, leaving his wife and two sons; the daughter-in-law of my aunt is a homemaker. My aunt's daughter has a son and works as a typist and is separated from her husband. My question is how this property can be divided between my aunt's daughter and daughter-in-law. The elders of the town would like to settle the issue out of court, but are unable to give a solution that is fair to both parties. Some supporters of the daughter-in-law say that since she is not working and has two children, she should get a larger share of the property than my aunt's daughter since she is working and has only one son. Please advice on what the Hindu law says about succession of property
