India is a democratic country where every citizen has his fundamental rights, which are given to us by the Constitution. Which ensures security and equality for all sections of the society. These rights are secured by various laws, in such a situation, if we talk about widowed women, then they are given special rights. Let's know about them-

A woman is considered a widow when her husband passes away. The death of a husband can bring many challenges, as the widow has to bear all the responsibilities alone, which can be a big deal for her. To reduce these problems, the Indian government provides many facilities, let's know about them-

• If the widow does not have income and cannot maintain herself using her late husband's property, then her in-laws will have to arrange for her maintenance.
• A widow has full rights over her husband's property, and after his death, she is entitled to an equal share in his inheritance.
• Even if the widow remarries, according to the Hindu Succession Act, she retains her right over her first husband's property.
• If the widow dies without leaving a will, her children have a legal right over her property.
• The widow has the right to inherit property from her second husband, and her children will be entitled to this property even if it originally belonged to her first husband.
