My wife and I got married in November 2014, after I bought a 1BHK flat in Hinjewadi, Pune in 2012. Sadly, we’ve been facing issues and she left home six months ago without any notice. I’m planning to file for divorce in Pune. Could you advise me on what happens to my property in this situation?

Under Indian law, your property purchased before marriage is considered your separate property. Your wife’s leaving without notice does not automatically give her any claim to the property. However, during divorce proceedings, the court may consider factors like your marital relationship and financial contributions to determine any potential division of assets.
