Abstract	Women Domestic work is one of the oldest forms of labour across the world. Due to various socio-economic challenges such as drought, declining agricultural opportunities, lack of employment options, land acquisition in the name of development, displacement, caste-based discrimination, and inadequate access to basic amenities like healthcare and clean water, many people are compelled to migrate from rural areas to urban centres. Women who migrate often take up domestic work as a primary source of livelihood. Understanding the living conditions of these women, the problems they encounter both at home and in their workplaces, and particularly their level of marital adjustment, is essential. Such a study can help identify the factors that affect their quality of life and provide insights for improving their living standards. The study explores dimensions such as marital adjustment, job satisfaction, economic challenges, workplace discrimination, domestic violence, workload, and overall quality of life. Findings reveal that most respondents belong to economically vulnerable backgrounds, have low levels of education, and depend entirely on domestic work for livelihood.
