Man, woman, even working professional, anyone looking after family at home is a ‘homemaker’: Karnataka High Court
To consider a woman a ‘homemaker’, it is ‘not necessary to project or establish that she is illiterate, stays at home 24x7, or attends only to household work and nothing more’, the court says
The Karnataka High Court has declared that any individual, regardless of gender, who "tirelessly strives, showers unconditional love, sacrifices personal comfort at times and ultimately becomes a pillar of a happy and stable family" is a "homemaker." The court emphasized that considering a woman as a "homemaker" is not limited to her being illiterate, staying at home 24/7, or exclusively attending to household chores.
Any woman who provides services to her family members at home, irrespective of her educational qualifications, can be classified as a "homemaker," including working professionals and breadwinners. The court made it clear that the definition of a "homemaker" is gender-neutral and encompasses individuals who contribute to their family's well-being, whether they are homemakers in a traditional sense or working professionals.
