you may claim the property as your case will fall into the proviso to section 4 of Benami Transaction (Prohibition) ACt 1985. She cannot claim your property. you can claim because you have paid the money and your case falls in section 4 as stated above
as per your version, the properties were bought with your money and the money of father in law. better amicably settle the matter by dividing the properties instead of going for litigation.
