13-Mar-2023 (In Divorce Law)
My cousin wife filed dv case n now sec 19 residential rights but in name of my cousin nothing is there. Plz advise me to come out frm this sec19
Dear Sir,
The Court held that under Section 17(1) of the Act wife is only entitled to claim a right to residence in a shared household, and a ‘shared household’ would only mean the house belonging to or taken on rent by the husband, or the house which belongs to the joint family of which the husband is a member. In the case, the property in question neither belonged to the husband nor was it taken on rent by him nor was it a joint family property of which the husband was a member. It was the exclusive property of mother of husband and not a shared household.
