1) With regard to joint family system, including management of family property, self acquisition, gifts and its implication, alienation and partition, including the constructiion of documents as partitions or maintenance arrangements, the Aliyasantana Act and customary law still remains applicable

2) Aliyasantana’ system which was followed in South Kanara of India (district to the north of Malabar and to the west of Mysore and Coorg; in the north lies North Canara and on the west Arabian sea- geographical area of South Kanara

3) you have been rightly advised not to take the risk of purchase of property as Mrs B children have not given consent for sale of property

The inherited property is at par with the self acquired property of the inheritor, which he can alienate according to his wish. Ms.B did not require the consent of her children to sell the property which had devolved on her through succession. Section 14 does not apply here at all.

The position of law is very clear.

This property once in the hand of a woman, it becomes her absolute and own property

She need not take the consent of her children or anyone to dispose the property to anyone.

Her children need not be parties to the sale deed and as they have no right or interest in the property, their consent is not required for this sale deed.

A's lawyer has rightly explained the position of law.

Dont get confused over legal jargons namely aliyasantana or anything.

The law in this regard is very clear.

The law of land relies on HSA only now.
