Dear experts,
The husband has bought all assets on illegal wife's name. Can the legal wife claim it back through court? The illegal wife has no source of income but has accumulated assets.
Please advice
Thanks

@rajkumar,
The real fact is: Husband was into illegal relationship with another woman and left the legal wife. Legal wife approached court for RCR and got maintenance in 1980. All these years the husband lived with the other woman and bought all the assets on her name. Now, some well wishers are trying to get the legal wife atleast a house to reside. Earlier she had been living in her brother's house and now she is staying in a rented house.
the query is that whether the legal wife can approach the court stating that Husband has given all the assets to another woman without even providing a house for the legal wife?
thanks

@Sekar: The legally wedded wife can seek maintenance and residential rights from her husband, she is entitled to residence under the provisions of law even it be a rented house whose rent will be paid by her husband. As far as the properties bought on the name of his concubine, even her husband cannot claim a share in it though he purchased it out of his funds. It becomes a woman's exclusive property. Thus his wife cannot do anything about legally.
@heral: A divorce deed made on a stamp or not, registered or not, it never becomes a legally valid divorce. A decree of divorce dissolving the marriage held between two by an order of a court is the only legally valid divorce. Other forms of divorce are nothing but gimmick. Therefore the subsequent marriage while the previous marriage was not dissolved legally, is null and void.

@rajkumar.. thanks for your comments
@T.Kalaiselvan.. thanks for your comments... I have another query. In case, husband dies and his mother has some inherited property in her name, can the legal wife claim her husband's share in the inherited property which is held by husband's mother? Does the husband's mother has right to dispose the property without giving any share to her daughter-in-law or her grandchildren? please advise
thanks
