Who is the legal guardian of a married woman? Is the husband the legal guardian of his wife?
25-Jul-2024 (In Civil Law)
No, a husband is not automatically considered the legal guardian of his wife. In Indian law, both spouses are legal adults with independent rights. Guardianship typically applies to minors or individuals who are mentally incapacitated, and even then, a formal legal process is required to appoint a guardian. A husband may have responsibilities toward his wife, but that does not make him her legal guardian.
