https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=276470 A transfer of land by a husband to his wife in discharge of her claim to future maintenance, to be enjoyed during her lifetime, could be made without writing because Section 9 of the Transfer of Property Act permits transfers without writing unless a statute expressly requires it. The arrangement was not a sale under Section 54 since the consideration was not "price" in the sense of money, and it was not an exchange under Section 118 because there was no mutual transfer of ownership.

The question was answered in the affirmative. en-us Fri, 06 Jan 1922 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 12 Nov 2018 16:04:30 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=276470 A transfer of land by a husband to his wife in discharge of her claim to future maintenance, to be enjoyed during her lifetime, could be made without writing because Section 9 of the Transfer of Property Act permits transfers without writing unless a statute expressly requires it.
