The Supreme Court's Shishupal judgment is landmark, valuing a homemaker's services at ₹30,000 monthly for accident compensation, with a 10% triennial hike. This ruling significantly corrects the undervaluation of women's domestic labor, building on precedents. While applicable to MACT cases, it has broader implications: strengthening judicial reasoning for maintenance claims, valuing rural women's work, and potentially influencing "work from home" disputes. Insurers may face increased claim sizes. The author hails this as a vital corrective against economic erasure, advancing recognition of unpaid domestic labor.
