Maintenance and property

T. Saranvelu (Querist) 07 September 2015 This query is : Resolved
Sir,
I have filed appeal petition case for divorce at higher court. The case is pending. Meanwhile, maintenance case filed by the wife is also pending at court. I have constructed a house using home loan from bank before marriage in my name only. Now loan is in progress and paid by me only and it will complete 12 years. She never paid a rupee for the house. In that condition, whether she has rights in that house property, if so, how much while considering loan also. Please clarify the issues in detail.

Your wife has no forced right in your self acquired property as far as ownership is concerned.

Your lawyer might have already advised you on it.
