This discussion explores whether a husband can file a partition suit on behalf of his wife for her share in undivided immovable property, based on an unregistered family settlement. While a husband cannot claim the wife's share himself, he can file the suit if duly authorised by his wife, either through a general authorisation, a vakalatnama appointing him as advocate, or a registered Power of Attorney. The wife retains the right to file the suit herself, but can appoint her husband to represent her in court.
