As of today the legal position is that Wife doesn't have a right on ancestral property of husband. Except in case of joint property of husband and wife she cannot claim a share in the property of her husband in divorce case. If she wants a separate residence than depending on husband's income and property the court may order husband to rent or buy a flat for the wife in case of Domestic Violence.
