A house cannot be termed as a home without a lady presiding over

न गृहं गृहमित्याहुहिणी गृहमुच्यते।गृहं तु गृहिणीहीनमरण्यसदृशं मतम्।।2।।महाभारत, शान्तिपर्व, 145

na gṛhaṃ gṛhamityāhuhiṇī gṛhamucyate।gṛhaṃ tu gṛhiṇīhīnamaraṇyasadṛśaṃ matam।।2।।

mahābhārata, śāntiparva, 145

A house cannot be termed as a home, a house that is fit for peaceful living unless that is presided over and tended by a woman of proper behaviour, even temper and efficiency. It can be stated without hesitation that a home not having a nice lady taking care of it is nothing better than a wild forest
