Former validity is determined by the marriage ceremonies of the place or lexloci celebrations whereas the essential validity is determined by the personal law of the parties or the law of the place of residence or lexdomicilli. The position of a married woman as the mistress in the home is very important in nation building. Any calamities like war, epidemics, financial crisis and the negative personality traits of husband like drunkenness and immorality and treatment of relatives often affects her existence and that of the children and those who are being nursed by her.
