A.Hello,
Every woman, in India after her marriage is having a right to reside in her matrimonial home. The right of residence of a woman may form a part wife's right to maintenance. But in the case of Domestic Violence, it in itself is a right, under section 17 of the Protection of women from Domestic Violence Act,2005.
