The woman claimed that her husband and mother-in-law had been feeding 10 street dogs in the shared household with the intention to cause her harassment and mental torture.
Right to residence in a matrimonial home under the law against domestic violence subsumes the right to safe and healthy living, the Delhi High Court has said.
The court's observation came while dealing with a plea by a woman against a lower court order refusing to give her any relief against her allegations of harassment by her husband and mother-in-law.
The woman claimed that her husband and mother-in-law had been feeding 10 street dogs in the shared household with the intention to cause her harassment and mental torture.
Justice Tushar Rao Gedela issued notice on the petition by the woman and said, "it goes without saying that the right to residence in a matrimonial home, under the provisions of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, also would subsume within itself, the definition of 'right to safe and healthy living' too. Hence, requiring interference by this court."
