Ah... interesting case. Parking for more updates on the case.

If it was based on East Malaysia, if the house is fully owned by the husband not co own with the wife (wife has no name in title), then purchaser can actually lodge a land inquiry at land office to challenge to have the wife caveat removed from the property if the caveatable interest is only on monetary gains for divorce; not on the house ownership itself. Unless it is about the house ownership say the husband forge the ex wife signature as another owner etc. However, this is my opinion. Am not lawyer.

However, am not familiar with syariah law also, this could be intertwine with the transfer of ownership too.

Anyhow, like mentioned earlier, looking forward for more updates on the case.

EDIT : Anyhow, do remind your lawyer to caveat the said property for your own interest.
