the Hindu Marriage Act

Hindu law pertains to issues affecting Hindus at large, such as marriage, divorce, adoption, and succession. Section 27 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, provides for disposal of property at the time of dissolution of marriage. According to this section, the court can make such provisions in the ruling/order as it required with respect to any property that may have been gifted, at or about the time of marriage, which belongs jointly to both the husband and the wife.
