Property Rules For Divorced Wife: This question also comes in the mind of many people. How much right does a wife have on her husband’s property after divorce? Does she get half of her husband’s property? Know the answer
If we talk about divorce cases across the world, then India has the least number of divorces. In India, only about 50% of marriages end in divorce. But if we look at the recent past, then there has been an increase in this figure.
If we look at it specifically, many divorce cases of celebrities have come to the fore. If we talk about them, the names of Indian cricket team’s star all-rounder Hardik Pandya, former dashing batsman Shikhar Dhawan and leg spinner Yuvendra Chahal come to the fore.
This question also comes in the minds of many people. How much right does a wife have on her husband’s property after divorce? Does she get half of her husband’s property? What are the rules in the country regarding this? Let us tell you.
Many people have this misconception that after divorce, the wife gets a share in the husband’s property. Let us tell you that in India, after divorce, the wife does not get a direct share in the husband’s property. By law, the husband is bound to give only maintenance to his wife after divorce. Not a share in his property.
Alimony is not limited to money only, it can also include living space, health care and other needs. This is decided by the court. What are the needs of the wife and how much is the income of her husband.
Talking about property, if there is a joint property in the name of husband and wife. That is, both of them have bought a house together. Then after divorce the wife gets a share in that property. But if a property is in the name of the husband and the husband has bought it himself. Then the wife has no right over that property.
That is, in simple words, the wife has no right over the husband’s property. After divorce, the wife is entitled to get only alimony from the husband, which is called maintenance. And that too the court decides how much alimony should be given to the wife. This may also include some property. However, it depends on the court.
