My wife and her family, who are lawyers, are pressuring me to buy property after we withdrew a dowry case. I have no property in my name. Should I buy it in her name, just my name, or jointly? Will buying it in her name help me in any way? Also, if my wife buys property after marriage, can I claim a share in it under the Special Marriage Act of 1954?

Buying the property in your wife’s name alone will not protect you from future claims. Under the Special Marriage Act, you may have a claim on property acquired by your wife after marriage, but this is subject to proof of contribution and other factors. It is best to seek legal advice from a lawyer specializing in family law to understand your specific situation and options.
