Kakerla Chukkamma vs Kakerla Punnamma And Anr. on 12 November, 1914

11. Apart from this, as was pointed out by my learned brother and Sankaran Nayar J. in Kakerla Chukkamma v. Kakerla Punnamma (1915) 28 M.L.J. 72, 74, the senior wife is the wife whom acts of duty concern, that is, "who officiates in acts of religion and so forth" (Colebrooke's Digest of Hindu Law, Book IV, Chapter 1, Section 51). This shows that the acts of duty in which a senior wife has got a preferential right need not necessarily be all religious duties. I therefore think that the principle is equally applicable to Sudras as well as to the other classes.
