OBJECTIVE: This course on Family Law is designed to familiarize, train and equip students
with comprehensive knowledge on the myriad personal laws operating in Indian society,
especially regarding law of inheritance. The law of inheritance comprises rules which govern
devolution of property on the death of a person, upon other persons solely on account of their
relationship to the former.
Personal laws in India owe their diversity to different religions viz, Hindu, Muslim,
Christian, Parsis and Jews. There is further divergence in such laws based on considerations such
as sex of an intestate, his sect in the community to which he belongs, his domicile at the time of
his death and the type of marriage he might have undergone based upon which a multiplicity of
succession laws is operative and applicable in India.
This paper covers intestate succession and testamentary succession. Under the intestate
succession category, the study would include a critical examination of the provisions of the
Hindu Succession Act, 1956 and Muslim Inheritance Laws. General idea shall be given
