Application of Family Law to Hindus Outside India - The Hindu law, as extended by the Act, applies to Hindus residing outside India if they are domiciled in India.

Nomination and Family Status - Nomination of benefits, such as insurance, is valid only if the nominee is a member of the family at the time of nomination.

G. - Chhattisgarh
Validity of Convictions and Evidence - Convictions are not invalid solely due to procedural lapses like the non-examination of witnesses, provided no legal rule mandates such examination.

Analysis and Conclusion:
In general, giving property or benefits to persons outside the family can be valid if done fairly and with acceptance, but legal formalities and statutory provisions must be adhered to. Actions exceeding legal authority, improper service, or benefiting non-class members under specific laws like Wakf or nominations can render certain arrangements invalid. Adoption and detention orders are subject to statutory compliance, and family property rights are protected through proper legal procedures. Therefore, outside persons are not automatically barred from receiving shares or benefits, but validity hinges on adherence to legal requirements and fair arrangements.
