Recognising the role of homemakers.

On June 24th Madras High court gave a verdict that homemakers are entitled to equal share in properties purchased by their spouse. Honourable Justice Krishnan Ramasmy said that the property may have been purchased either in the name of husband of wife nevertheless, it must be considered to have been purchased with money saved by their joint efforts.

This is a landmark in recognising the role of a homemaker.

Husband and wife are the two wheels of a cart. One takes the responsibility of going out to earn money( husband) another takes care of home(wife) and enables him to go out and work. Contribution of both the partners are important- its a joint effort. But unfortunately role of homemaker is not given importance.

Normally a role of a homemaker is done by woman. She is multitasking, she is a nurse, chef, driver, accountant, manager, worker, medical and emotional support to family, takes care of guest, list is endless.

Role of a wife, who is a homemaker is as important as the role of husband even is savings and investments.
