Your daughter in law has no right to ask for monetary compensation and benefits from you . If the property is owned by you then she has no right in the property but if your son has a share in the property then she too has a share in the same. Shared house hold means where the girls has been living with her husband and the husband owns or has a share in that house.

in case the house she is claiming her interest in, is purchased out of joint funds and your son also had a share in it, she may claim the share of her husband.
