What is Matrimonial Rights under Tesawalamai Law about?
The case of Velupillai v. Sivakamipillai involves the determination of matrimonial rights under the Tesawalamai for a Jaffna Tamil couple who resided in Batticaloa. The court held that the rights of the widow were governed by the customary law of Jaffna, and the husband could not deprive her of these rights by changing his domicile without her consent. The appeal was dismissed, affirming that the law of matrimonial domicile at the time of marriage governs the rights to property.
