In such a situation, the question arises that if Dharmendra’s property is divided then who will be entitled to it?

What does the law say about property division?

On this Delhi High Court lawyer Kamlesh Kumar Mishra Told ABP News that an important decision of the Supreme Court in 2023 – Revan Siddappa vs. Mallikarjun (2023 INSC 783) has made this entire matter very clear.

What does the Supreme Court’s decision say?

According to the 2023 decision, even if a person’s second marriage is considered void under the Hindu Marriage Act (HMA) (like Dharmendra and Hema Malini’s marriage, because his first wife Prakash Kaur is alive and not divorced), the children born from that marriage will still be considered valid in the eyes of law.

Under Section 16 (1), such children will get full rights on the property of their parents. However, this right will be limited only to the property of the parents – that is, there will be no direct right over the entire joint family or ancestral property.

So will Isha and Ahana get a share?
According to Advocate Kamlesh Kumar Mishra, the Supreme Court has made it clear that ‘children from second marriage’ are entitled to their share in their father’s self-acquired and ancestral property.

In legal language it is called ‘Notional Partition’. That is, after Dharmendra, it will be considered that his ancestral property has been divided and the share that comes in Dharmendra’s name will be divided equally among all his legitimate heirs.

Legal status of Esha Deol and Ahana Deol

1. Validity granted: Despite his second marriage to Hema Malini being considered void (void) under the Hindu Marriage Act (HMA) (as his first marriage to Prakash Kaur was continuing), section 16(1) of the HMA grants Dharmendra’s daughters the status of legitimate children in relation to their parents. The purpose of the law is to remove the stigma of illegitimate children.
2. Limit on assets (section 16(3)): The Supreme Court again clarified that this status of legitimacy does not automatically make them coparceners in a large Hindu joint family. His rights are strictly limited to the property of his parents (Dharmendra and Hema Malini) and not to the property of “any person other than the parents”.

Inheritance rights in ancestral property (clarification)

According to Advocate Kamlesh Kumar Mishra, ‘The 2023 judgment of the Supreme Court has laid out a clear way as to how children born out of a void marriage can be entitled to a share in the ancestral or coparcenary property of the parents. It specifically harmonizes Section 16(3) of the HMA and Section 6(3) of the Hindu Succession Act (HSA).’

1Imaginary division required: When a Hindu male coparcener (e.g. Dharmendra) dies, under section 6(3) of the HSA, a notional partition of the Mitakshara coparcenary property is deemed to have taken place immediately before his death.

2. Deciding property of parents: The share that Dharmendra would have received in this hypothetical partition is considered his “property” for the purposes of succession.

3. Transfer: The share so decided is distributed among all the Class-1 heirs of Dharmendra under intestate succession (as per Section 8 and 10 of the HSA).

4. Involvement of children with Section 16: The children (Esha Deol and Ahana Deol) who are legitimate under section 16(1) of the HMA are treated as “sons” and “daughters” for purposes of distribution under section 10 of the HSA, which does not distinguish between legitimate and section 16 legitimate children.

5. Conclusion on Rights: Esha Deol and Ahana Deol, along with his other Class-1 heirs (namely his first wife Prakash Kaur, if alive; his mother, if alive; and children from his first marriage: Sunny, Bobby, Vijeta and Ajita), will be entitled to an equal share in Dharmendra’s property after the notional partition.

Who will be entitled to Dharmendra’s property?

First wife Prakash Kaur, his children – Sunny, Bobby, Ajita and Vijeta. And both daughters of second wife Hema Malini – Esha Deol and Ahana Deol. All of them will be considered equally entitled to the property inherited by Dharmendra.

• First wife: Prakash Kaur
• Children from first wife: Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol, Ajita Deol and Vijeta Deol
• Daughters from second marriage: Esha Deol and Ahana Deol

All these six children will get equal rights in the property of their father Dharmendra.

Hema Malini will not get share in the property

Hema Malini will not get a share in Dharmendra’s property, because their marriage is not considered valid under the Hindu Marriage Act (Dharmendra’s first marriage was still valid at that time). Hema Malini will get the share only if Dharmendra has made a will in which she has been given a share or the validity of the marriage is proved in the court.

Advocate Kamlesh Kumar Mishra says, “The Supreme Court has made it clear that children born out of an invalid marriage will now get a share in the property not just by name but by legal rights. Isha and Ahana Deol are equally entitled to their father’s share in the entire property.”
