Abstract: The inheritance rights of children born of void or voidable marriages in India's diverse legal structure form a complex intersection of personal law, constitutional principles, and child welfare. While Hindu personal law through Section 16 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 has had changes made in its favour to provide some protection for the inheritance rights of such children, Muslim personal law has continued with its traditional classification and distinguishes between sahih (valid), fasid (irregular), and batil (void) marriages, often negating inheritance rights of the children born out of an invalid Nikah. This paper attempts to answer the question - How far do Hindu and Muslim personal laws in India differ in the treatment and conferment of inheritance rights on children born out of void or voidable marriages, and how can these sets of laws be reconciled with the constitutional values of equality and dignity? By employing a doctrinal methodology, this paper analyses statutory provisions, case laws, and religious interpretations by critiques of the role of the judiciary in the effort to bridge the gap between personal law and constitutional mandates.
