Wife's Right to Restrain Disposal of Husband's Estate - A wife may initiate legal action to prevent her husband from disposing of his estate, especially if such disposal affects her rights or interests. Courts can issue injunctions to restrain the husband from alienating or disposing of estate without her consent, provided legal procedures are followed. The wife can also seek protection of her rights through suits for injunction or maintenance, and courts consider the welfare of minor children in such cases.
