Can anyone on the forum suggest if there is a concept of "marital property/assets" in divorce law in Nepal or not? For example, in most developed countries, upon divorce, only marital property (meaning assets earned during the period of marriage) are to be divided between husband and wife. This means, any assets/property either party had before marriage remains with that party and is not up for division on divorce. Also, if either party inherits property from say their parents, they can keep it and do not have to divide it up for divorce.

Does Nepal have a similar concept? Or is everything, meaning pre-marital property and inherited property as well up for grabs?

Assuming both husband and wife are greencard holders living in US, if wife goes to Nepal intending to live there for a while, can she invoke divorce by Nepali law? On the other hand, can the husband invoke divorce by US law instead?

Advice from expert or people who have been through it would be appreciated.
