Homemakers entitled to equal share in properties purchased by their spouses: Madras HC
Wife As Homemaker Contributes To Husband's Acquisition Of Assets; Entitled To Equal Share In Properties
The Madras high court held that women home makers are entitled to equal share of property purchased from their husband’s income, and said that a wife being a homemaker is a job of 24 hours without holidays, which cannot be less equated with that of an earning husband who works only for 8 hours.

The court observed that a wife being a homemaker multitasks with skills of a manager, a chef, a home doctor, a home economist. (PTI)

Justice Krishnan Ramasamy observed that the wife contributes to the family by taking care of the household and the children.“In generality of marriages, the wife bears and rears children and minds the home. She thereby frees her husband for his economic activities,” justice Krishnan Ramasamy said. “Since it is her performance of her function which enables the husband to perform his, she is in justice, entitled to share in its fruits.”

Recognising that there is no legislation enacted to acknowledge the domestic contributions done by a wife who works as a homemaker, the judge said that he is of the view that if the acquisition of assets is made by joint contribution of both the spouses–one by employment, the other by caring for the family, certainly, both are entitled to equal share.
