Wife's right on husband's ancestral property
If a woman's husband dies, she does not have the right over her husband's ancestral property . However, a woman cannot be thrown out of her in-laws' house after the death of her husband.
Whereas the in-laws have to pay maintenance to the woman. The amount of maintenance is decided by the court based on the financial condition of the in-laws. If a woman has children then they get the entire property of their father. If a widow woman marries a second woman (alimony to wife) , then the maintenance she gets will stop.
Woman's property rights after divorce
If a woman gets divorced from her husband, she can ask for maintenance from the husband. This is also decided on the basis of the financial condition of both husband and wife. Apart from monthly maintenance, one time settlement option is also available in divorce cases. If the children live with the mother after divorce, the husband will have to maintain them too.
Let us tell you that in case of divorce, the wife has no right on her husband's property (women property rights) . However, the woman's children have full rights over their father's property. If there is any property of husband and wife in which both of them are owners, then it will be divided equally.
