Pahle ye law tha ki divorce ke baad wife sirf husband ki property me se hi apna hissa legi.but ab law ye ho gaya hai ki yadi husband wife ko gujara bhatta dene me yadi samarth nahi hai to wife husband ke ancestral property ke through apna gujara bhatta le sakti hai.

There is a particular divergence of opinion of courts across the country on this issue. A recent SC judgment however does hold that the wife's share lies in the ancestral property of the husband, but there are certain conditions that need to be fulfilled for such an entitlement. Further details are awaited.
