i the property is self acquired property of husband then he is free to give it to any person of his choice and as one property is built after marriage by your support then you can claim partition of the same.daughter is entitled to claim maintainance and expenses for her marriage from her father.In case of need contact with details,professional charges are applicable.

Presuming that the property which you have specified is self acquired then father has got full rights and discretion to dispose or to transfer or to gift or sell to anyone on this planet at his will.
