New bill gives woman share in ex-husband’s inherited property
NEW
DELHI: A wife will have a share in her husband's inherited or
inheritable marital property on divorce, though the exact quantum of the
compensation has been left to the discretion of the judge, according to
a legislation that was cleared by the Union Cabinet on Wednesday.
The Cabinet also cleared the proposal that in cases where divorce has been sought on mutual consent of both parties the judiciary has been given the discretion to grant divorce to one party after a period of three years, even if the man and the wife are no longer on the same page. These were part of the recommendations of the GoM on Marriage Laws Amendment Bill which will now be amended suitably before being brought to Parliament during the monsoon session, beginning August 5.
