Wife Property Rights After Divorce: After divorce, which property of the husband can a wife have rights over? Which property of the husband can a wife claim? Let us tell you what are the rules regarding this.
When a husband and wife get divorced, then after divorce, as per the rules of law, the husband has to pay alimony to the wife. In some cases, property also has to be given as alimony. But rules have been set regarding this.
This question often comes to people’s mind. Which property can belong to the wife after divorce? And which property cannot be claimed by the wife? Let us tell you. What are the rules for this?
If a husband and wife get divorced, then the wife cannot claim her husband’s ancestral property unless she is legally included in it. That is, the wife has no right over the inherited property as long as the husband is alive.
Apart from this, if her husband has bought any property from his own earnings, then the wife has no right on that property either. The wife cannot make any claim on the property earned by the husband himself. The wife has no right in the property of the husband’s parents i.e. mother-in-law, father-in-law or any other relative of the husband. The wife cannot claim any such property even after divorce.
If any property is not legally gifted to the wife after marriage, then she cannot claim that property after divorce. Apart from this, if there is a pre-nuptial agreement between the husband and wife before marriage, then the property is given on that basis. However, after divorce, the husband has to pay alimony to the wife, which is decided by the court. Apart from this, the wife has full rights over whatever jewellery and gifts are received during the marriage.
