When a wife isn't fulfilling her responsibilities, open communication, understanding, and collaboration are key. Start by having an honest conversation about your concerns and try to understand her perspective. Define expectations and responsibilities together, and work as a team to manage household tasks. If needed, consider seeking professional help through marriage counseling.

There is no provision in any law which can make her obey the household responsibility. Try and convince her to do the household work. Try to know why is she not taking up the responsibility. It is better to work it out with a healthy discussion. If needed then try to involve your elders and sort out the problem maturely and mutually. You both can go for marriage counselling to sort out your issue and to make her understand her duties and responsibility.

At the outset it is responsibility of both husband and wife to do house chores and no one is exception to it. Before taking any action under Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 for dissolution of marriage and if anything like that is passing in your mind you both can go to any Councillor and try to resolve the disputes else the remedy available to you to file Marriage Petition in competent Civil Court for dissolution of marriage on the ground of cruelty thereby setting up various incidences which would amount to cruelty to you by your wife.
