Q:
1. Why has an illegitimate child not been made a beneficiary of the wealth and money of his father, moreover he can't adopt his name, socially not an individual which other child can be. In spite of him being innocent, why has he been refused with all the bounties a child enjoys?
2. If his mother and father repent for their deeds, still the child will be facing all the hardships and trauma of not being a legitimate child. Would the father still be liable for his zina even after repenting? If not then how would the child be given justice for something which his parents did and he is being paying off?

Q:
Brother A sold a property in India and forged his younger brother B signature. When brother B came to know about this, he went to India to stop the transfer of the property. Brother B had to engaged a lawyer in India to stop the transfer and therefore had to incur expenses i.e. legal fees, airfare etc. We do not know at what price the land was sold but he did give all the inheritors what was due to them. The buyer is prepared to compensate brother B because he needs his signature to take transfer of the land. Recently brother B sold a property in UK and the money will be distributed to all the heirs. Brother B wants to deduct his India expenses from all the heirs from the sale of the UK property. I want to know if brother B is entitled to do this as the buyer of the India land is prepared to pay him a substantial amount, taking into account that that he gained from the disputed land.
