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.

Divorcing a spouse with mental illness can be a challenging and complex process, which requires understanding the legal and practical aspects.

Marriage Promise Fraud: Criminal Offence The Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) was introduced on August 11, 2023, and assented to by the President on December 25, 2023. It became effective on July 1, 2024, replacing the Indian Penal Code (IPC). There is one very important addition to the BNS which is Section 69, which specifically deals with the OFFENSE OF FALSE PROMISE OF MARRIAGE .  This issue had previously been ambiguously defined under the IPC as a serious offense. There have been a growing number of cases where women have been deceived into sexual relationships under false promises of marriage, leading to the urgent need for the law to be clarified.
