Hi there,
I am a non-Hindu boy soon to be married to a Hindu girl under the Special Marriage Act. I was recently told by a family friend who went through a divorce after being married under the SMA, that the wife is entitled to take 50% of the inheritable assets of the husband.
My questions are:
1. Is this true?
2. Is there any way to avoid this exposure - either through my parents will excluding me from the inheritance, or through my relinquishment of inheritable property or some other way?
By way of background, although I am very much in love with my fiance, she has some mental issues, which might lead to problems in the future. Hence, I think it is best to be prepared for all eventualities.
Appreciate your inputs!
