Please narrate your proposition more clearly, preferably with actual situation giving details of the property and relationships.

You may consult Mulla on Hindu Law. You may also peruse Hindu Succession Act.

In case of any difficulty, you are welcome to contact me by e-mail.

If the property is joint property, then daughter/grand-daughter always have right in it, irrespective of divorce, especially after amendement of Hindu Successino Act, (Amendment Act) 2005

The above is the clear legal position. Refer ro Hindu Succession Act.
