Q. With reference to the recent plea on conjugal rights, which of the following statements describes conjugal rights?

[A] These are rights vested to the properties of Hindu Undivided Family.

[B] These are rights related to armed forces to form union.

[C] These are rights created by marriage, i.e. right of the husband or the wife to the society of the other spouse.

[D] These are economic rights of shareholders while the firm faces insolvency.

Answer: C

Notes:

These are rights created by marriage, i.e. right of the husband or the wife to the society of the other spouse.

Section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, which deals with restitution of conjugal rights, reads: “When either the husband or the wife has, without reasonable excuse, withdrawn from the society of the other, the aggrieved party may apply, by petition to the district court.”

Similar provisions exist in Muslim personal law as well as the Divorce Act, 1869, which governs Christian family law.
