children born out of void marriage can not claim share in property of their parents during their life time

Thus, it is now made more than clear that, the children of a void marriage, though regarded as legitimate, such children would not be entitled to any share in the properties, which are ancestral coparcenary joint family properties of their parents. Their right to claim the share remains limited only to the extent of the separate property of their father, but in that property, they cannot make any claim during the lifetime of their father. Their right in the separate properties of their father will accrue only on the death of their father and, that too, by way of succession.
