On Friday, the Supreme Court ruled that a husband must share domestic work like cooking, cleaning, and laundry because he is married, not because he is a servant. Therefore, when a wife does not cook, it is not cruelty and cannot be the basis for divorce.
This ruling by Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta was made when they were hearing a petition by a man against the ruling of the Karnataka High Court. The High Court had set aside the ruling of the trial court that had granted the man a divorce on the basis of cruelty by the wife.
