Kochi: The Kerala High court Thursday dismissed a PIL seeking directions to the Central and State government to evolve a scheme providing minimum wages for housewives for their housework.
A Division Bench, comprising Chief Justice Manjula Chellur and Justice K Vinodchandran, dismissed the petition by Women's Voice, an NGO of Sultan Bathery in Wayanad.
According to the petitioner, the women spent 10-14 hours a day in household chores, while in rural areas they spend the whole day for such activities.
