Re: legal property rights of wife on husbands movable and immovable property

A wife is entitled to recovery of her ishtridhan from the husband and is entitled to maintenance / alimony; she cannot be deprived of her rights even if the husband obtains a writing from her waiving her claims. a wife is, therefore, entitled to claim a charge against property of the husband and her writing to the contrary may not be helpful.

therefore, it is better to settel her rights in the court instead of obtaining her writing from which she may resile subsequently.
