property & maintenance

Good Lord!!

Income from the assets/property is taken into consideration and not assets.

Assets merely show the previous capacity but not necessarily the current capacity.

Don't expect hubby to sell off the assets and pay it to the wife/kids. Then better stay/stick with the hubby and be loyal to him.

This is my frank opinion and answer. There are many who answer...a few ensure the feminist convenience and tell loop holes. But if the wife starts 'eyeing' on hubby's property and for a share therein, then its really unfair!!

if you expect sympathetic feminist answers, then wait for few  'XYZ Of Law's to answer suitable to your expectations.

Adv prabhakar ji has worded it correctly.

Share in property of husband, as demanded by woman's organisations, ............provided woman is a respondent and not the petitioner...........otherwise...at least 1 in 10 husband-respondents would take extreme measures probably.

It would be even more draconian than 498a if such a right is availed to women-petitioner's of IRBM.
