A father has the legal right to transfer his self-acquired property to anyone, including his children or any other person, without any consent or permission from anyone else, including his wife or children. However, if the property is jointly owned by the father and his wife or any other family member, then he would need their consent or permission to transfer the property.

If that property is jointly owned with you then your consent is mandatory for gifting entire property. If the father transferred only his part to his daughter in law, then that transfer is legally valid.

Self-acquired property refers to any property that a person has acquired through his or her own resources, without inheriting it from any ancestors or family members. In other words, any property that a person has purchased, inherited, or received as a gift is considered self-acquired property.

This type of property is solely owned by the person who has acquired it and can be disposed of by him or her in any manner they deem fit, including gifting it to someone else or transferring it through a will. The legal rights and obligations related to self-acquired property are different from those related to ancestral or inherited property, which is subject to different legal provisions and rules.
