In this sense the place where a person has his actual residence, inhabitancy, or commorancy, is sometimes called his domicile. In a strict and legal sense, that is properly the domicile of a person where he has his true fixed permanent home and principal establishment, and to which, whenever he is absent, he has the intention of returning (animus revertendi).Two things, then, must concur to constitute domicile: first, residence; and secondly, the intention of making it the home of the party.

Domicile and residence
Domicile and residence, etymologically, 'residence' and 'domicile' carry the same meaning, inasmuch as both refer to the permanent home, but under Private International Law, 'domicile' carries a little different sense and exhibits many facets.

'Domicile' may also take many colours; it may be domicile of origin, domicile of choice, domicile by operation of law or domicile of dependence. In Private International Law domicile' jurisprudentially has a different concept altogether, Union of India v.
