The wife does not inherit the property of her father-in-law, and the husband cannot claim for compensation in case of divorce. Whether the wife inherits the property is not limited by the husband. The share of the estate enjoyed by the wife can be regarded as the joint property of the husband and wife, but the premise of division is that the wife must agree to accept the estate.
They have the right to independently decide whether to accept or abandon the inheritance, and this right of disposition is not limited by the status of husband.
Article 17 of the Marriage Law: The following property acquired by the husband and wife during the period of marriage shall be jointly owned by the husband and wife:
（1） Salary and bonus;
（2） Income from production and operation;
（3） Income from intellectual property;
（4） Property derived from inheritance or donation, except as provided for in Item 3 of Article 18 of this Law;
（5） Other properties that should be jointly owned. Husband and wife have equal rights to dispose of jointly owned property.
