In India, women have been worshiped as goddesses since ancient times and many rules have been made and rights have been given in the Constitution to empower the women of the country. In today's world, the advent of globalization and information revolution has changed various sectors of society at an unprecedented pace. Now women have equal rights with respect to ancestral property. After marriage, questions often arise about the rights of a husband over his wife's property. Can a husband sell his wife's property without her consent, let's know its full details-
Ownership matters: No person can sell property that is not in his name. Therefore, a husband cannot sell his wife's property without her explicit permission.
Consent required: If the property is registered in the wife's name, the husband must take her consent before any sale.
Husband's property: In contrast, any property registered by the husband in his own name belongs entirely to him, and his wife has no claim over it.
Property purchased in wife's name: If the husband purchases property in his wife's name using his own funds, he has full rights over that property, and he cannot sell it without her approval.
Rights after death: In the event of the husband's death, the rights to the self-acquired property will pass to his mother and widow, but the specific rights depend on various factors, including the will, if a will exists.
