However alienation of the property in question is subject to the terms and conditions of Sale Agreement since advance amount has been parted as a consideration to the proposed sale. However, the sale proceeds (including advance amount) is to be divided equally for share of both husband and wife. But is most of the cases, one of the owner gives a consent to the purchaser to pay the proceeds to another or cheque payable in joint names of the vendors.
