Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Section 2(s) focuses on whether the aggrieved woman lives or has lived in the household in a domestic relationship. In Satish Chander Ahuja v. Sneha Ahuja, (2021) 1 SCC 414, the Supreme Court explained that such living involves some degree of permanence. Title is not decisive, and a casual visit alone does not satisfy the residence requirement.

Option feedback

Option A

Ordinary residence with the husband is living in a domestic relationship and meets the residence requirement.

Option B

A festival visit alone does not establish domestic residence, even if the property belongs to the husband's joint family.

Option C

A casual visit for a wedding does not establish domestic residence.

Option D

Title alone does not establish a shared household. The statutory test concerns residence in a domestic relationship.
