At the time of marriage husband was owning house jointly with his parents. Wife left husband' house after four months of marriage. There after settlement took place and wife agree that she want only divorce and except this nothing. The things has been entered in black and white and notarised. After this husband relies his right, share and interest in property in favour of his parents and paid stamp duty as per prevailing market rate and value and duly registered the same. Also in share certificate husband's name is duly removed. Now wife has filed case for alimony and maintenance. Can she demad share in property of husband. if yes, than court upheld her demand and grant share in property now?

During the life time of the husband wife cannot seek rights in the property of the husband, she can only claim maintenance. If she has son/daughter thru., then she can claim her share in the property.
