"The role of a homemaker is as important as that of a family member whose income is tangible as a source of livelihood for the family," the Supreme Court said.
The Delhi High Court has ruled that compensation for the demise of a homemaker is complex and cannot be accurately quantified in monetary terms because it can t replace the love, care, and warmth provided by a mother or wife to her family. The court made this observation while addressing the issue of computing compensation for a homemaker s death.
