Wife on the left or right ?

sarveshu dharmakaryeshu patnee dakshinato shubhaa

In all dharmic rituals the wife should sit on the right hand side of the husband.

While receiving ashirvada ( blessings from brahmins ), while abhisheka is being performed ( also prokshana), while washing the feet of brahmins, while sleeping and also while having food , the wife should be on the left.
