Chennai, June 26

The Madras High Court has ruled that a wife is entitled to an equal share in the property bought by her husband and said the many roles played by her cannot be less equated with the 8-hour job of the husband.

Justice Krishnan Ramasamy gave the order recently over a property dispute involving a couple, with the original appellant, since dead.

He claimed ownership of the property, while alleging she was also involved in an extra-marital affair. His children were later impleaded in the case following his death.

The judge said the defendant woman being a homemaker, though she did not make any direct financial contribution, she played a vital role in managing the household chores by looking after the children, cooking, cleaning and managing day-to-day affairs of the family without giving any inconvenience to the litigant who had gone abroad for work.

“And moreover, she sacrificed her dreams and spent her entire life towards the family and children,” the court noted.
