No ! The wife does not have a share in her husbands ancestral property.

However once the share of husband in the property is inherited. She gets a share in the property .

yes wife can have equal share in husbands ancestral property.Ancestral property under Hindu Law is called Coparcenary property, wherein after the 2005 amendment, even the daughters borne in any such Joint Hindu Family will also get their share like the sons. Before the amendment, only male members of the Joint Hindu family were called Coparceners.
