As per amendment to The Marriage Laws (Amendment) Bill 2010, any property acquired by husband after marriage by default wife will have 50% right in such properties in case of a divorce. The Marriage laws automatically provide financial security to wife. To secure wife’s interest in the case of any unfortunate event, your wife can claim 50%share in property in the vent of divorce and obtain an injunction restraining you from selling the said flat.

if you stop paying EMI bank will take recovery proceedings against you and your wife and bank may auction it to sell off and amount will be divided. Best course of action will be to convince your wife to execute and register a relinquishment deed after taking a compensation for it,
