Muslim Law Maintenence

A widow’s right of retention does not mean

A widow has a right to obtain possession of her husband’s estate if her dower remains unpaid

A widow lawfully in possession of her deceased husband’s estate is entitled to retain such possession until her dower debt is satisfied

A widow has a right to create a specific change on the deceased husband’s estate until her dower is satisfied

Both (a) and (c)

- Option 1: A widow has a right to obtain possession of her husband's estate if her dower remains unpaid.

- This is not correct. The right of retention does not allow the widow to *obtain* possession, only to *retain* possession if she is already in it.

- Option 2: A widow lawfully in possession of her deceased husband’s estate is entitled to retain such possession until her dower debt is satisfied.

- This is correct and is the fundamental meaning of a widow’s right of retention.

- Option 3: A widow has a right to create a specific charge on the deceased husband’s estate until her dower is satisfied.

- This is not correct. The right of retention does not involve creating a specific legal charge on the property.

- Option 4: Both (a) and (c)

- Since both (a) and (c) are incorrect, this option is also not correct.

Correct Answer: Option 4
