My marriage of 7 months is facing challenges, and we’re considering divorce. My wife comes from a modest background, and I’ve learned her relatives have their eyes on my assets. How can I safeguard my property? Would she have a claim on the property owned by my parents?

Indian law does not automatically give a spouse a claim on property owned by their in-laws. However, if your assets were acquired during your marriage, your wife might have a claim on them depending on how they were titled and the nature of your marriage. To safeguard your property, you should consult a lawyer to understand your legal rights and options, including potentially entering into a prenuptial agreement or a separation agreement.
