Madras High Court: Homemaker Wife's Contribution to Husband's Asset Growth Entitles Her to Equal Share in Properties.

The Madras High Court ruled that a wife who contributes as a homemaker is entitled to an equal share of property acquired during the marriage. Even without a financial contribution, the court recognized her role in supporting the household and her husband's success. This landmark decision affirms that non-monetary contributions in marriage deserve equal recognition in property settlements, promoting fairness and gender equality.
