Re: ancheral joint family property rights
The second marriage, if ceremonized after coming into force of HMA, is void in law.
You may be entitled to your share in the joint / ancestral property and may consider filing a civil suit on the lines being contemplated.
You may engage a local counsel who may also help you with relevant references/ citations.
Re: ancheral joint family property rights
Ancestral Property rights of coparceners are well recognized and rights of Karta/Manager to alienate are restricted.
In case of ancestral properties, a coparcener can file suit for partition.
