Sec 27 hma

Dev (Querist) 17 September 2013 This query is : Resolved
Hello experts,
Request you to please provide insight on sec 27 hma.
I had purchased 2bhk flat jointly with wife after marriage.

since I didnt include property matter in prayers of my divorce petition, can I use this section 27 to claim for relief?

will it be a altogether different case or proceedings will undergo during divorce case only?

OR is it better to amend divorce petition?

Better to amend divorce petition

Sec 27 deal with properties presented at or about the time of marriage [ Part of marriage ceremony] and not your property , that you invested jointly thereafter.

So your property is not covered under sec 27 HMA.

You cannot invoke section 27 in the given case as your wife is and shall remain owner to the extent of her share in the property despite of the divorce.
