Married Women’s Property Act Insurance

Empower and Protect your family in your absence.

What exactly is this ?

When you buy a life insurance policy, you aim to secure the financial future of your wife and children in your absence.

However, if there are any outstanding loans to any creditors, they will have prior claim to the money before your beneficiary nominee.

Any life insurance policy taken by the husband on his own name and registered under the married women’s property act 1874, section 6 in favor of his wife or children or any of them, will always be their property.

Neither the parents of the husband nor his creditors can recover any part from the benefit.

 

Who can opt for life insurance under the MWP Act?

  • Business persons with a high component of loans.

  • Proprietors and partnership firms which are in losses and unlimited liability.

  • People who live in joint families where there can be many claimants in the family.

  • Salaried people who have high loan components and liabilities.

  • Any person who has insecurity that the relatives or any other person, may claim the benefit from insurance claim in fraudulent way.
