Court Rules That The Marital Domicile Must Be In The Husband’s Place Of Residence, Unless The Marriage Contract Stipulates Otherwise
Wife files a case against the husband for maintenance for herself and her daughter, and the custody of the child. The wife states that the marriage between the two had been unpleasant from the beginning, due to constant absence of the husband in the marital home, or the husband returning home drunk during late hours of the night, subjecting the wife to verbal abuse, and not providing for the family in spite of the husband’s substantial income. The wife claims that as a result, she was forced to obtain financial assistance from her brother and family.
