Hi, As per the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, remarriage without divorce from the first marriage, is illegal. Therefore, the second wife in such circumstances cannot claim any share in the property of the deceased husband, in the case of death of the husband without leaving any will (intestate). However, the child from the marriage would be considered legitimate as per Section 16 of The Hindu Marriage Act, 1956, and they would have right over the property of the father as a class I legal heir if the father dies interstate, as per the scheme of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956. If you find it helpful, kindly rate my answer. Thank You
