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.

While the bill has a provision for share in a husband's self-acquired property, a new clause, 13F, was discussed by the GoM, headed by defence minister A K Antony.

It says if the ancestral property cannot be divided, then the woman should get sufficient compensation by calculating husband's share in it. The amount of the compensation can be worked out by the court hearing the divorce case.

As I may have said, this kind of thing makes me feel a bit better about us white Western guys. It has taken the scourge of feminism around 200 years to ruin our societies, whereas previously uninfected societies like India and Japan seem to be succumbing overnight with virtually no resistance.
