Son
Son, 'son' as understood in common parlance means a natural son born to a person after marri-age. It is the direct blood relationship which is the essence of the term in which 'son' is usually understood, emphasis being on legitimacy. In legal parlance, however, 'son' has a little wider connotation. It may include not only the natural son but also son's son, namely, the grandchild, and where the personal law permits adoption, it also includes an adopted son. Even illegitimate son may be treated as legitimate, as for example, the 'son' referred to in s. 16 of the Hindu Marriage Act, as originally enacted. Thus the term 'son' itself is a flexible term and may not be limited to the direct descendant. Its true meaning, like the term 'family' discussed above, will depend upon the context in which it is used. K.V., Muthu v. Angamuthu Ammal, AIR 1997 SC 628 (632): (1997) 2 SCC 53.1. A person's male child 2. An immediate male descendant 3. An adopted male child or dependent, Black's Law Dictio...

In the son or daughter of such a female
In the son or daughter of such a female, even in the absence of the words which were inserted by the Amendment Act of 1964 in s. 15(2)(b) the only possible interpretation and meaning of the words 'in the son or daughter of such female' could have reference to and cover the son or daughter of the husband of the female. The entire scheme of sub-s. (2) of s. 15 is that the right of pre-emption has been confined to the issues of the last male holder from whom the property which has been sold came by inheritance. Looking at clause (a) of sub-s. (2) where the property which has been sold has come to the female from her father or brother by succession the right of pre-emption has been given to her brother or brother's son. If the son or daughter of the female who has sold the property could refer to her son or daughter from a husband other than the one from whom the property devolved on her, it would be contrary to the scheme and purpose of sub-s. (2) which essentially is to vest the right of...
