Property protection-have been married 4 months ago
1 year ago
I have been married 4 months ago. She was my girlfriend. I used to love her so much that I turned out idiot now. Very recently I have come to know she has cheated me when we were in relationship, also her behaviour nowadays seems she is cheating on me. But it's too tough to prove her affairs as I don't have much evidence. In addition to this, her mother is always giving her bad ideas on how to control me and make me her puppet etc. After marriage, my father gave his 3bhk flat for us to stay as a good gesture, while my mom dad stay in another house. Both properties are in my father's name. So now that I have lost faith in love and i have nothing to do since we tied the knot, i want to know how to safeguard my properties which I will inherit in future, especially my flat where I am living in because i realised lately that her family is in greed of our properties. Please suggest how to deal with this so that she doesn't get any property if in case any legal proceedings happen in near future. Will it be wise to sell the flat atleast and keep liquid money in bank account? Can she claim my money in bank account in case of divorce? Need help. Thanks in advance
You have to take detailed guidance to safe guard your properties etc.. however she has no right to claim your properties except maintenance. Not to keep any property in your name.
As long as the flats are in your father's name then till he is alive she will not have any rights in those properties. A wife gets her rights in the property through her husband so when you get the rights transferred to your name then she can claim any right. But suppose if you divorce her then all her rights will extinguish.
You can ask your father to make a will in which the all the properties are given to your mother.
your wife cannot claim the property that is exclusively your father's self acquired one. she will be eligible to get the maintenance or alimony after divorce (in case it happens) and if she gives birth to your child, then that child can claim the ancestral property.
