<h1>Supreme Court of India urges legal reforms for fair compensation of homemakers' contributions, challenging gender bias in existing laws.</h1> The Supreme Court of India emphasized the need to recognize the economic value of homemakers' contributions, highlighting their significant yet undervalued role in household production. The court criticized existing legal frameworks, particularly the Motor Vehicles Act, for failing to adequately compensate homemakers, typically women, in accident claims. It urged legislative amendments to better assess and compensate the work of homemakers, aligning with international conventions like CEDAW. The judgment also condemned the Census categorization that equates homemakers with non-workers, revealing a deep-seated gender bias. The court called for a re-evaluation of laws to uphold gender equality as mandated by the Constitution.
