The Supreme Court (SC) said on Friday that the work of a homemaker holds equal value as that of a salary-earning spouse, calling their contributions "invaluable." According to SC Justices KV Viswanathan and Suryan Kant, "The role of a homemaker is as important as that of a family member whose income is tangible." The statement reportedly came while the apex court was hearing a motor accident case involving the death of a Uttarakhand woman in 2006.
