Kerala HC says woman can exclusively own property bought jointly with husband using her father’s money

Kerala’s High Court ruled that a wife may hold sole ownership of a house purchased jointly with her husband if the funds came from her father. The division bench was hearing a petition in which the woman asked for the return of gold jewellery, cash and her share of the residential property. The court’s decision affirms her exclusive right to the asset.
