Wife eligible to claim share in husband's ancestral property
04-Jun-2023 (In Property Law)
I am a 40 yrs old Sikh man. I live in Australia as permanent resident, but have Indian passport. I was married in 2007 in India to an Indian girl. She came to Australia after marriage, and later became citizen here. We have 7 yrs old daughter who is also an Australian citizen by birth. My wife has a job. I left my paid job 2-3 years ago, since then I have been trying to start my own business, but not successful yet. QUESTION: I own some ancestral assets (house and agricultural lands in rural area) in Punjab. All were bought by my family decades ago. No addition/alteration to assets after marriage. Can she claim part of my ancestral land?
Wife cannot claim property of husband either it is self acquired or ancestral. Wife can claim maintenance and right to live in shared house, if she does not have any source of income and has been deserted by husband without any reason
