Dear Ld. Advocates,
Can someone clarify me the following:
I am working abroad. Due to some visa problem, i told my wife to stay with my mother & grandmother alongwith our kid (in our matrimonial home). But most of the days in a month she stays at her parents home. Since my mother is also not well, i told her not to stay in her parents home more than 3 or 4 days and look after my mother. Now she is intentionally staying in her parents home the whole month and makes a two day visit to my home. When I confronted this, she says that since i am not in my home she is not bound to stay in my home and look after my mother!
My question is whether the law says that :
if husband is away from matrimonial home:
--'the wife has no obligation to look after the in-laws in matrimonial home,
--it is not mandatory to carry out household duties
--she can stay anywhere away from matrimonial just making a visit to the matrimonial home.
If all the above is not accepted by law, will this make a strong point to prove that she is not interested in matrimonial life and does not care about the home!
Thanks for your reading.
Nanda
