Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 15 February 2010 This query is : Resolved
Hi, there was dispute in me and my wife and petition is going on in the court. I want to buy some property on my name (FLAT). Would like to know if she can claim share in my newly owned flat (which will be on loan)?

The wife does not have any right over the property purchased by her husband as long as he is alive. She has got only right to residence under Domestic Violence Act and the Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act.
However Charge may be created in the property of the Husband on his failure and/or in lieu of maintenance.

If you purchase the flat out of your earnings and not paid by your wife, she cannot have any claim in your property.

I agree with mr Barman.
