Minister Krishna Tirath has said that this amount, which could be anywhere between 10-20% of the husband's monthly salary, should not be looked upon as salary for housework; rather it could be referred to as an honorarium or something similar. 
Waziri Krishna Tirath alisema kuwa, kiasi hiki ambacho kinakadiriwa kati ya asilimia 10-20% ya mshahara wa mwezi wa mume, haipaswi kuchukuliwa kama mshahara kwa ajili ya kazi za nyumbani, bali unapaswa kuchukuliwa kama jambo la kuonesha heshima au jambo linalofanana na hilo.
