Your only proprietary rights in your parental family are confined to the ancestral property, if any. You do not have any rights in the self acquired properties of your mother/sister. You also cannot claim maintenance from your sister/mother as you are married. So make an informed decision.

1) on your father demise intestate ie you have one third share in father property

2) you have to file suit for partition to claim your share in property.

3) it should be your case that your mother is a house wife with no source of funds

4) property was bought by father in mother name for benefit of joint family

5) seek injunction restraining mother from selling the property

If the property left behind by your father was his own and absolute property and he had not any testamentary disposition of the same, then it is called as intestate property.

Being one of the legal heirs of your father, you are entitled to an equal share in his property. Your mother cannot deny or deprive you the legitimate right, if she is not acceding to your oral request you may file a partition suit seeking your legitimate share in the property of your father who died intestate.

1) even if marriage is not registered you would be regarded as married if marriage has taken place as per Hindu Vedic rites

2) change in Id is immaterial

3) change in ration card is immaterial

1. Failure to register the marriage does not render the marriage illegal. Verbatim for not updating the ration card/IDs.
