What it means: 中文 · हिन्दी · नेपाली · Tiếng Việt
中文: 在审查涉及已婚妇女的从属住所规则的早期阶段，委员会就认为，最好对住所这一整体概念进行审查，特别是因为从属住所不仅出现在已婚妇女的情形中，也出现在未成年人（未达法定成年年龄的儿童）和精神失常者的情形中。
हिन्दी: विवाहित महिलाओं से संबंधित आश्रित अधिवास नियम की जाँच के शुरुआती चरण में ही आयोग को लगा कि अधिवास की पूरी अवधारणा की जाँच करना बेहतर होगा, खासकर इसलिए कि आश्रित अधिवास विवाहित महिलाओं के साथ-साथ नाबालिगों (वयस्कता की आयु से कम बच्चों) और मानसिक रूप से विकारग्रस्त व्यक्तियों के मामलों में भी उत्पन्न होता है।
नेपाली: विवाहित महिलासँग सम्बन्धित आश्रित बसोबास (domicile) नियमको जाँचको प्रारम्भिक चरणमै आयोगलाई लाग्यो कि domicile को सम्पूर्ण अवधारणा नै जाँच्नु राम्रो हुन्छ, विशेष गरी किनभने आश्रित domicile विवाहित महिलाको मामिलामा मात्र होइन, नाबालिग (वयस्क उमेर नपुगेका बालबालिका) र मानसिक रूपमा अस्वस्थ व्यक्तिहरूको मामिलामा पनि उत्पन्न हुन्छ।
Tiếng Việt: Ngay từ giai đoạn đầu xem xét quy tắc nơi cư trú phụ thuộc trong phạm vi liên quan đến phụ nữ đã kết hôn, Ủy ban đã thấy rằng tốt hơn là xem xét toàn bộ khái niệm nơi cư trú, đặc biệt vì nơi cư trú phụ thuộc phát sinh không chỉ với phụ nữ đã kết hôn mà còn với trẻ vị thành niên (trẻ chưa đến tuổi trưởng thành) và những người rối loạn tâm thần.
