Your wife may not be entitled to the property per se, but she is entitled to alimony, i.e. a monthly income from you. If the property is in your name alone, then though she cannot claim a share in it, she is entitled to maintenance and how you arrange for that is upto you. Usually, the wife moves the court for maintenance out of the income generated from the property. Moreover, if the property is in your sole name, you can sell it, but if you do proceed with the divorce, then, as I said, you will have to pay maintenance. The other way of doing this is if you can work out a one time settlement amount and give it to her and then mutually file for divorce.

If you to take divorce, you can do so but be careful. She would definitely ask for maintenance. Maintenance will be given as per your earning capacity and if she does not know about the your share in the HUF property don't disclose it. Your property will not be attached if you give proper maintenance to your wife. All the best

If your family is of your confidance, then ask them to disentitle you. And when things settle, revoke the disentitlement. This way with coperation of family members you can safeguard your property from wife.
But there is always an apprehention, if post disentitlement, if your father only can reentitle you. Otherwise you are at mercy of pther heirs.

Hello if u settle with your wife and give her cash she won't ask for a share in your property. No court can give u directions to put your property in your wife's name. You can sell the part of land in your name. Best is to go for mutual consent divorce where terms can be worked out on table. Please contact us we shall be happy to help you. Regards
