I want to buy an android smartphone for my wife. The phone should have android jelly bean 4.2 and above. Preferable screen size 4" - 4.5". Camera at least 5 megapixel , but photo quality should be good to excellent. Ram should not be less than 512mb. Dual core or quad core does not matter . Screen may be ips, if not .
And a decent battery backup.

Thank you all,

Actually our expectation is always high enough but our budget always low enough.
So, my answer is -
Yes you can have one! but not that one is from a well known brand. I think Micromax will be a good option for you. Check them.

if you want to go for Android 4.1 Jelly Bean then on of the best option that you have is Samsung Galaxy Trend S7392 which has a good battery backup and provides with the other connectivity Bluetooth, Micro USB, GPS and WI-Fi, but then the issue with this mobile is that it does not have a camera of 5 MP it just 3 MP, but then it cost 7,479/- only
Another mobile that is feasible according to your budget constrains is Nokia Lumia 520. the price of the product is Rs. 7,902 has Camera of 5 MP and RAM of 512 MB, and has an operating system of Android 4.2 Jelly bean. Nokia Lumia fits perfectly according to your requirement.:)

There is no Nokia with Android OS at present in the market.
Nokia X series will have Android base but they will be much different to the Android that we know of.

About Lumias.
1. No file manager.
2. Very less number of apps compared to android and iOS.
3. No basic functions- you cant search music anyhow in music player. Shittiest thing ever. Even symbians had search.
4.Apps are released after a long time after releasing on android and iphones.
5. Apps which are free on android are paid. Angry bird?? Wtf??
6. Oh yes, forget about downloading anything.
7. Monotonous UI.
8. No true multitasking.

Android is something that has gained huge popularity within a short duration of time. If we look at the present market, we may find there are number of brands. you may try check e-commerce websites like flipkart, snapdeal, amazon to compare the specs offered by various brands. I would suggest go for sony or samsung phones. You will find many options. but remember to compare the specs and prices before buying.
