My husband promised to transfer a property to me before our divorce, but he gave me a gift deed instead and said he’d register it later. Now he’s refusing to do so. What can I do?

In India, a gift deed becomes legally effective only upon registration. Your husband’s refusal to register the deed can be considered breach of promise and you can file a suit for specific performance in court to compel him to register the property in your name. You can also seek a restraining order to prevent him from selling or transferring the property.
