Neither of the spouses has right of share in the proeprty of another.

So remove this idea from your mind.

File a petition for restitution of conjugal rights for you have been abandoned by your wife without any sufficient cause.

If you're able to demonstrate that you're in a disadvantageous position at time of divorce, the Court may Grant you something or the other. However, this is extremely rare.

1. No. You can not claim any share of her property which she has purchased out of her own earning in her name at the time of divorce or at any time whatsoever.

2. Similarly, she also can not claim any share of your properties at the time of divorce or anytime during your life time.

3. If any of you die before obtaining the decree of divorce, the living spouse will inherit the share of the dead partner.

No you can not claim share in the property that belongs to your wife.

Even if it is suggested that you can, then the same will just amount to waste of time and money.

If no reconciliation is possible then I advise you to file a petition for mutual divorce and settle the dispute on mutual terms and conditions.

If she is living separately away from you it can be considered as desertion.

You can file a divorce petition on the same grounds.

You cannot claim any share in her property.
