Yes she can but you can file a suit to declare such sale deed if you can. But you have to show that you have given the all considerations for the purchase and your wife has contributed nothing as she didn't had any source of income at the time of purchase of land or she anyway hadn't given a penny for the purpose.. for the person who has bought property in the name of his wife or daughter it is more crucial to show that that a person to succeed in a suit for establishment of his title in respect of a property purchased by him with his own funds in the name of his wife or unmarried daughter, he should prove that the purchase was not made for the benefit of the wife or unmarried daughter, as the case may be, on the other hand, it was purchased for his own benefits.
For more detailed advice you may contact me.. thank you

Dear Concerned,

Yes - any registered owner can sell the property registered on his/ her name and dont have to ask anyone before selling until there has been any specific other agreement - your wife can sell the property even if she has not paid single penny.

Best of luck

Yes wife can sell the property without telling the husband and if Suit is filed against her then she has to prove that she has purchased the property frm her stridhan/income then only she can succeed and husband has to prove that she is a house wife with no income and savings and he has purchased the property in her name by his money and he has to adduce the evidence regarding the same.
