  • Marriage, Divorce & Financial Rights 💔💼

    Marriage is often seen as an emotional bond — but it’s also a legal contract that impacts your money, property, and security. Many women don’t know what they’re entitled to during marriage or after separation. This section gives you clarity and confidence to protect your financial rights — no matter what your relationship status is.

    • 🔹 During Marriage – Know What’s Yours

      • 👜 Any property or money you brought into the marriage remains yours — not your in-laws’ or spouse’s
      • 👩‍❤️‍👨 If you jointly purchase a house, make sure your name is on the ownership documents, not just the loan
      • 💰 You are not legally required to “give up” your salary to anyone — contribution should be mutual, not forced
      • 📑 Keep personal copies of all important documents — PAN, Aadhaar, bank details, property papers

      It’s not about distrust — it’s about being an equal partner in financial matters.

    • 🔹 During Divorce – What Can You Claim?

      • 🧾 You may be entitled to alimony or maintenance (monthly support), especially if you have no income or children to support
      • 🏠 Shared property acquired during marriage can be divided — this depends on whose name it is under, contributions, and agreement
      • 👧 Custody of children and child support are separate legal matters — courts often favour what's best for the child

      There is no fixed rule for what you’ll receive — but a woman has every right to claim what is fair. Legal support is essential.

      💡 Tip:

      Try to have a bank account and some financial independence — even during a happy marriage. It helps you stay secure, strong, and respected.

      🌼 Final Thought

      Standing up for your financial rights isn’t about breaking a family. It’s about protecting your future and your dignity. Know your rights — love is stronger when it’s built on respect and equality.
