she has right to reside in the property and in case she has children, she can seek injunction against the husband from disposing off the property but she herself does not have a right or share in the property except residence.
mr.gupta is right
A wife is entitled to enjoy all assets of the husband; in the event of separation, she is entitled to claim maintenance as per "standard of living" of the husband at the time of separation. The court may, on an appropriate application, create a charge against husband's property to the extent of maintenance amount determined in favour of wife.
