Re: muslim women converts to hindu - can she inherit fathers property
being converted to hindu does abolish her to be the child of her father. If the property is ancestral then she has all rights in that property and if the property is purchased by her father and if he dies intested even than his daughter has right in the property.
Re: muslim women converts to hindu - can she inherit fathers property
A person by changing religion does not cease to be a daughter, she is entitled to father's property, and from your question it is not clear whether your father has left a will or not, if your father died intestate, your sister is entitled to a share in the property, irrespective of change of religion.
