equal right in respect of residential property only and not commercial property. in case the husband acquires ancestral property by way of inheritance, after or before marriage, even that property would be divided. am not a legislator so i cannot predict the time limit for notification of the amendment. however, i personally do not agree with the law as it will again be misused. it cannot be implemented in a transparent manner as it is in US or other countries.

The amendment says all the properties at the time of divorce. So it has not differentiated residential or commercial only criteria is belonging to and owned by the husband. You are asking about the time which cannot be predicted but why are you worried about it if you are not having any problem with your wife.
