https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=289107 An oral gift of immovable property by a Muslim husband to his wife in lieu of dower is valid when declaration, acceptance and delivery of possession are proved. Such a gift is not invalid for want of registration, and Section 92 of the Indian Evidence Act does not bar oral proof where Mahomedan law governs the transfer. The applicable rule of Muslim law is preserved by Section 129 of the Transfer of Property Act, so the general gift provisions do not displace it. The transfer is also not impeachable as fraudulent merely because it prefers the wife as a creditor; it fails only if shown to be a fictitious or colourable device to defeat creditors. en-us Tue, 24 Mar 1936 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 15 Jul 2020 14:05:29 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=289107 An oral gift of immovable property by a Muslim husband to his wife in lieu of dower is valid when declaration, acceptance and delivery of possession are proved.
