What are interactual property rights?

What are the husband's rights over property wife buys after marriage with her salary?

  • My dear members, Greetings, and I wish you a good day :) I have a doubt. This is pertaining to Indian marriage laws, as I live in India. Now with the recent amendment to Hindu marriage act, the wife has equal rights on the property bought by husband after marriage. I am wondering if, the husband has the same. I mean: The wife is working, and with her salary she buys a house after marriage using her salary. So by the law, does the husband have equal ownership rights on that house? Or is this law one sided in favour of women, by which I mean, is it that only wife has joint rights on marital property without her financial contribution, but husband has no rights on property bought by wife without his financial contribution? What are the husband's rights over property wife buys after marriage with her salary? Please note, wife has equal rights even when she has not contributed financially to property bought by husband. So does husband have the same rights when he has not contributed to property bought by wife AFTER marriage? Thanks a ton. Take care!

  • Answer:

    The property belongs to wife. It is not a joint property. After death of wife, husband can claim the property.
