Can Husband claim right of property registered on wife name.


07-Nov-2023 (In Property Law)
Property of 8.5Lac as per area rate. Property is registered solely in wife’s name. {Cheque of 7.5Lac issued by me and my son and daughter}. Rest 1Lac cheque issued from husband account. Note - I myself deposited that money in husband account and i also have cash receipt signed by me. “Property price is increased now” So finally my concern is can he claim any right in my property?? Or should i make gift deed in name of my child before it??

Claims can be made if he can showcase transfers in the house or plead before the court that he was a major contributor in the purchase of the property.
This is relevant during Divorce proceedings.

Changing the title of the property is an option but it doesn't make you immune from claims. Although, it will make his case a lot trickier.

If he wishes he can still claim his shares. That's his right but but its unlikely that its going to be an easy route. Read about Benami properties between spouses

Yes your husband can file a claim in your property if he pleads before the court that he has contributed towards the purchase of the property.


It is advisable to contact a lawyer and seek his opinion as to how to safeguard your property and what all documents needs to executed.

You need to hire expert advocate in this case. Your husband & others won’t have any right in the property whatsoever but they are only eligible to recover that amount from you. Kindly b in touch to discuss further
