In a landmark judgment, the Supreme Court has said women who run households should be viewed as "nation builders" rather than merely homemakers, recognizing the economic and social value of unpaid domestic work. The court also fixed the value of "loss of domestic care" at ₹30,000 per month for compensation in motor accident cases involving homemakers.
