My husband and I are both Goan Roman Catholics. We got married in Goa in 1999 and moved to Mumbai. He bought an apartment for us in Mumbai a year later. We’ve been separated for five years and I’m living in Goa with our son. I’m considering divorce. Could I have any rights to his or his father’s property in Mumbai?

As a Goan Roman Catholic, your marriage is governed by the Indian Christian Marriage Act. You are likely entitled to a share of the Mumbai apartment acquired during your marriage, regardless of who bought it. The specific division will depend on factors like the length of the marriage, contributions to the purchase, and whether it was acquired in your husband’s name or jointly.
