you have not mentioned that under whose name the property was registered was it you or your wife or was it under joint name. if it was under your name then your wife had no authority to sell it and you can claim the ownership of the property. if it was in the name of the wife then she can sell it without her permission and does not seek your approval in it and you cannot claim it. and if it was in joint name then without your consent she cannot sell it.
