The Punjab and Haryana high court said that the right to choose the location of a court in case of a matrimonial dispute goes to the wife. The bench of Justice Arun Monga said, "Only in a case where the wife is residing outside India, the husband can institute proceedings where he is residing. Whereas, the wife can, in any case, file a petition in a competent court, within whose limits she is residing."
