Explanation

In Saroj Rani Vs. Sudarshan Kumar (1984), the Supreme Court first considered the constitutional validity of Section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 (restitution of conjugal rights). The court upheld its validity, though this position was later reversed. Section 9 allows a spouse to petition for the return of their partner if they have withdrawn from married life without reasonable cause.
