Under the present law prevailing in India, to amend which a bill is gathering dust in the Parliament, wife has no share in the movable or immovable property of her husband regardless of whether it was purchased before or after marriage.

1. Since it is your self acquired property, your wife is not entitled to have a claim on it.

2. Being the owner of the self-acquired property you are at liberty to do anything during your lifetime.

3. No body else other than you has Absolute Right over the property.

1. She can not claim any right, title and interest in your properties after obtaining divorce as per India law.

2. As per Indian law, wife can not claim share in her husband's property even staying as his wife, during his lifetime and can claim her share only after his demise as his widow along with his other legal heirs like mother and children.

There is no provision in law by which a divorced wife can ask share of her divorced husband's properties in India.

1.As per USA Law, the divorced wife gets equal share of husband's properties which was acquired by the husband after their marriage.

2. In India it is not so.

3. Your wife will not get any share of your properties located in India after divorcing you.

I am an Indian citizen residing in Australia me and my wife heading for divorce , can she claim my property in India

If the divorce proceedings are going on in India she cannot claim rights in your property, if it is in Australia, then if she has not contributed for the purchase of property after marriage then she may not be eligible for a share in the property.

Please give me guidelines how can i save my property in india

If your property in India was bought after your marriage then you should ensure that she never contributed for the purchase of this property in any manner. Of course this shall be applicable only if you have filed the divorce proceedings in Australia or if the proceedings in Australia has a mention about this property in her counter to your divorce case.

If the divorce is going on in India then there is no harm to yor property and it can be considered as a very safe because as per Indian laws there is no claim on individual properties in the divorce proceedings against each other hence she cannot claim a share or right in the property that is belonging to you and lying in India or elsewhere..
