14-Apr-2023 (In Divorce Law)

Hi, Husband has filed for Divorce whereas Wife has filed for Conjugal Rights. Want to know clarity of law for below two points: 1) Is the wife entitled to share of on husband's matrimonial home. If Yes, then what right she can claim. 2) The said property matrimonial home is purchase on base of loan where the wife is also registered owner and on basis of her and in-laws liability the loan was purchased as husband did not earn enough. The wife did not pay any EMI as of now as divorce case was file after months of purchase. So in this case what does property law say. Let me know law point.

As per law wife is not entitled to seek a share in the matrimonial home if the same is purchased by the In-Laws out of their amount. so even the house is partial in the name of the wife for name sake, the wife has to prove that she has contributed some amount towards the purchase of the same.

Since both have jointly purchased the property and also both names are mentioned in the sale deed you're wife is having equal right. Title and interest in the said property even you are also having equal right in the said property
