Husbands claim to wifes property

1. ⁠If parents gift a land and money to their daughter, can her husband claim later on in any circumstance? 2. If she explicitly makes a will passing everything to her sibling, can it be contested by the husband later?

Dear Client,

Property gifted by parents to a daughter becomes her absolute property under the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, and her husband has no automatic right or claim over it during her lifetime, except that such assets may be considered by a court while deciding maintenance or alimony without transferring ownership.

Further, if she executes a valid will in favour of her sibling, it will be governed by the Indian Succession Act, 1925, and although the husband may challenge it, such a challenge can succeed only on limited legal grounds like lack of capacity, undue influence, fraud, or improper execution, and not merely on the basis of being the spouse.
