Husbands Marital Responsibilities

Summary

In India, there is no specific rule mandating a husband to keep his wife with him after marriage. However, the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 emphasizes the duties of spouses to live together. If a husband is not living with his wife due to work, legal options include filing for restitution of conjugal rights under Section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act or claiming maintenance under Section 125 of the Criminal Procedure Code. A wife can claim maintenance even if she is employed, as the court considers both parties incomes and financial obligations.
