Hello,

1) As such in India the wife does not have any right on husband's property during his life time.

2) The second property that you acquired will have to be split equally between you equally as it is registered in joint names. Had it not been registered on joint names she would not have acquired any rights in your property.

`1) wife has no right in husband property acquired before or after marriage in india

2) wife only has rights to stay in her matrimonial home

The proprietary rights of a wife in India are limited to those properties which have been registered either absolutely in her favour or jointly with her husband. She has no share in the properties registered entirely in her husband's favour irrespective of whether the acquisition was made before or after marriage.

Your wife has no legal right to claim share in your self acquired property. She can only claim right to stay in matrimonial home. She may get permanent alimony while seeking divorce and maintenance of a fixed sum if she is not earning herself till she re-marries. The Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 also provide for settlement of property jointly owned by both parties which they were presented to them at the time of marriage.In the second property legally she has 50% share.

As per Section 125(l) (a) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, if any person having sufficient means neglects or refuses to maintain his wife, unable to maintain herself, a Magistrate of the first class may, upon proof of such neglect or refusal, order such person to make a monthly allowance for the maintenance of his wife at such monthly rate, as such Magistrate thinks fit, and to pay the same to such person as the Magistrate may from time to time direct. Here ‘wife’ includes a woman who has been divorced by, or has obtained a divorce from, her husband and has not remarried.

Hi, wife has no right to claim share in the property which is in your name, however she has 1/2 share in the property which is purchased in the joint name.

She can claim the property if the property is in her name and not any property, she is not entitle to get any share from the husband and his relatives/family members property by any law in India.

there is no law exist yet in India by which she can claim any share in the property of husband, only she can claim right to residence in the property which is belong to husband and he is residing there.

1. As per Indian Law, your wife shall have no right, title and interest on your property during your lifetime,

2. After your demise intestate, she will have equal share on your property along with your mother if she is alive and all your children,

3. She she will have equal share on the property jointly held by you with her, unless you file a declaratory suit before Civil Court praying for a declaration that the property actually belongs to you since you have paid and have been paying the entire consideration for buying the property and get the said declaration with a direction upon the Registrar to cancel her name as the joint owner of the said property.

As a matter of fact she does not have any right or a share in the property acquired by you even after your marriage.

But as you said that the property purchased after the marriage was on the joint names, she becomes the joint owner of the the property. A joint owner is entitled to half share in the property if there is no specification about the proportion of share between each.

Therefore your question has been answered accordingly.

wife has no right in the property of husband, but she can claim on the property which is bought in her name either singly or jointly.

you can remove her name from the property because she is only ostensible owner and had no source of income at the time of purchased that she can prove that it was bought by her.

file a case before the tehsildar for deletion of her name from the revenue record.
