Legal Question in Family Law in India

I booked/ purchased my house in 2006 with possession in 2009 after having sold my old house in 2007 and with my own financial resources and savings. Can my void wife claim the share in property?. Could she claim if she were legal wife or a divorced wife?

She was already married before starting to live with me. I am going to file a case u/s 11 of HMA. Can she take recourse to 406, 498a or DVA for claiming the share?

Pl advise
