Introduction When a spouse has been abandoned by their partner and wishes to resume marital cohabitation, the restitution of conjugal rights is a legal remedy available to them. There are some provisions in the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, which provide a similar remedy, and similar provisions in other personal laws as well.

As a further option, the court may impose certain conditions, including the payment of maintenance and regular visits to the marital property.

Introduction Due to the patriarchal structure of society and men's dominance over women in society, studies showing that women commit significant rates of violence against men are highly controversial. The critics argue, first and foremost, that it is important to analyze the aggression of women to men in a broader social context even though they are capable of violence. In history, both in society and in close relationships, the men held the position of authority. Physical differences, the expected outcomes of violence, as well as reactions, will likely lead to quite different motivations for using violence between men and women. According to many critics who oppose the idea that men are victims, violence perpetrated by men against women has significantly more damaging consequences than violence perpetrated by women against men. All defenses state that men abuse women and women respond by becoming aggressive. However, it is difficult for the general public, and even sometimes the...

Contrary to the case of rape, in which ...
