How can a wife claim rights from a joint property


14-May-2023 (In Property Law)
My father in law purchased a property on the name of my mother in-law in 2006, in which I also gave 25% money share to purchase it. And that payment I had made via chq. Now I hv matrimonial distributes. My husband filed the divorce. And not ready to pay alimony. I want to claim on that property as I m also hv right on that property bcoz I gave money to purchase it. Or Do I get my money back as the property rate at this time? Plz suggest me.

Mam .... The wife has not right of matrimonial property. But she has right to residence under domestic act 2005 . But you have benamidar of that property to given 25 percent money by cheque. So u have 25 percent share also...

Since you have not been divorced, hence still you are member of that joint Hindu family and hence you have a right in the property. In addition to this since you have made payment through cheque the same can easily be proved in the court of law and you can be declared as shareholder in the property in the ratio you have paid.

Mam you can apply to the court and claim your right in that property but as it is in your mother in law name so you have less right in the same but you can claim right in the same by filling domestic violence case.
