Legal Question in Family Law in India
Case of a Hindu couple.
The first motion is filed.Husband is abroad.So divorce is through his dad by way of POA.
The streedhan and 70% of the settled money have been given already.Remaining money is to be given on 2nd motion that's after 6 months,as per settlement terms.
Now before the second motion,if the husband dies,will the wife still be entitled to get this remaining money?
Because now her status is that of a widow.So can anyone say that a widow does not claim alimony?
She's not interested to claim any rights as a widow;only the remaining money that's due to her.
Please advise

what to talk of alimony, widow would be entitled to every thing belonging to the husband, if husband died intestate. Secondly, if husband died leaving behind a WILL, then she may not be entitled to any thing.
depends whether he dies intestate or makes a will
