What is MWP Act ?
  • The Married Women's Property Act, sometimes known
    as the MWP Act, guarantees married women complete
    ownership of whatever property they acquire or
    come to own.
  • After the marriage, the husband is not permitted
    to obtain a stake in any of the wife's such
    assets.
  • A welfare law was passed in 1874 to ensure that a
    married woman's wages, earnings, property,
    investments, and savings are her own property,
    distinct from her husband's and relatives.
  • As a result, neither her spouse nor her in-laws
    nor any other relative have any claim to her
    property.

Who should opt for insurance with MWP Act?
  • The following people should consider buying
    insurance under MWP Act-
  • People who live in joint families or have close
    relatives should opt for insurance under MWP Act
    as there can be many claimants in the family.
    This will ensure that after the death of the
    policyholder, no family conflicts regarding the
    death benefit arise. 
  • People who work for pay and in the business world
    accrue debt and take out loans. To prevent
    creditors, lenders, or banks from using the death
    benefit to pay off debts or liabilities, such
    people should purchase an insurance plan under
    the MWP Act.
  • Any individual who has a risk that their
    relatives or another person could fraudulently or
    otherwise use the insurance benefit to cover
    their insecurities is required by this Act to
    purchase their own insurance. The spouse has the
    option of designating his wife, children, or both
    of them as the policy's beneficiary.
