Even if the DV case is withdrawn, the wife has the right to reside in the shared household under Section 17 of the Domestic Violence Act. If the property is ancestral and she is staying there as part of her matrimonial rights, she can seek injunction against its sale. However, if the property is solely in the name of the husband's father and not a shared household legally, she may not have a strong legal claim to stop the sale. The offer of rent and ongoing maintenance of ₹12,000 per month is relevant and may support your position, but legal eviction can only be done through proper legal procedure.

Is property registered in father’s name? Then wife cannot do anything. Why is husband paying maintenance? Is wife educated and can get job? Even otherwise, she can work as domestic maid in 3 to 4 houses and make money. Looks like no children.. right?
