CAN A WIFE CLAIM HER HUSBAND’S PROPERTY DURING DIVORCE

Property rights are the legal rights to obtain, possess, sell, transfer property, rights to receive rent, keep one’s salary, enter into contracts, and file lawsuits. Among all of this the most delicate issue is the right to property of wife after divorce. The right of wife in husband’s property after divorce relies on a variety of factors such as reasons for the separation of husband and wife.

A wife can claim in court for her rights and contribution to the property. But a wife has no right over husband property underneath are the following things:-

1. Joint Property with Husband – a wife cannot acquire the share from the property until she has given her share to the property.
2. Husband’s Self- Acquired Property – a wife cannot claim the share in husbands property and if husband is paying maintenance than he holds the ownership of the titled property.
3. Ancestral Property of Husband – a wife has no right on husband’s ancestral property, i.e., only the biological children can claim ancestral property.

Therefore, a wife cannot claim her rights on husband’s property the wife can only claim for a property on her monetary share and can claim maintenance after divorce.
