Rights of wife to live in husband's home till getting divorce

Wife can live for life time in her husband's house. As such law does not prescribe any such limitation in this regard. You can also claim maintenance including the expense towards rent etc. Consult a lawyer with details.

She is still wife and has right in matrimonial home/home where husband resides.

Which court is the competentent court to file the petition for uphold the rights.

The wife has rights to live with her husband{Matrimonial home} till  the Divorce is granted. even the wife is entitled to file separate petition of Restitution.

When matter is in court, it is advisable that both husband and wife should not be in contact.

Due to anger if he gives one blow and if she dies, she herself will be responsible or the people who sent her to live at husbands house will becoem responsible, that includes court/judge too.

If keeping her is becoming a problem at fathers place or borthers place, then best place is to seek remedy from court and ask her to be placed in government shelter house for women.  It is 100 rs per day charge to be paid by husband for her stay there.  You can enquire locally in women and welfare department locally regarding per day expenditure for staying in women shelters home.

What you can do is, catch hold of feet of husband, do some drama of crying, ask husband to take her back.  WIthout divorce case being disposed off legally the wife does not have right of entry to husbands house or in-laws house.  I hope it is clear, all your doubts.  Dont be happy that the wife can ask maintenance, she can ask, court can order, but it up to the husband to pay or not.

Agreeing with Mr. Rajedra K Goyal ;Pls avoid to repeat.

Wife can stay in her husband's house or whereever the husband guy resides with or without court order. She can ask the protection officer of the jurisdiction to leave her in her husband's house and warn her husband to not throw her out of the house.
