Legal Question in Family Law in India

Property In My Name

Married under Hindu Law and now in a bitterly contested divorce in India. Have a property in my name which the husband is laying claim to. He does not contribute anything to it and also does not pay for the child for the last many years. Can the house in my sole name ( even if not in India) be free of his claims as Istri Dhan? There is lots of blackmail and harassment by the husband too. I am a working woman bringing up my child alone. He is a good for nothing rich spoilt man in India.

Your husband may have no claim towards your 'istri dhan'. Nothing to worry for you. As per Indian laws you will not suffer any financial loss.
