1) wife had no share in husband self acquired or ancestral property
2) similarly husband has no share in wife self acquired or ancestral properties
How much share can a wife claim on husband's property after divo?
Just a simple doubt. In event of a divorce, how much share can a hindu wife claim in her hindu husband's property? Self-acquired or ancestral both. And (vice versa) how much share can a husband claim in his wife's property (both)? Considering both are well educated(bachelors degree and above) and are earning well. Thank you for your answers. :)

There is no law for this provision at least in India.
