The Supreme Court of India responded to a man's plea who sought an order from the court to his spouse to start living with him again. Responding to the man's plea, the SC bench of justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul and Hemant Gupta asked, “What do you think? Is a woman a chattel that we can pass such an order? Is a wife a chattel that she can be directed to go with you?" The woman alleged she was tortured by her husband over dowry.
