Explanation

Under Section 13(1A) of the Hindu Marriage Act, if a decree for restitution of conjugal rights has been passed but the parties have not resumed cohabitation for a period of at least one year after the decree, either spouse can petition for divorce. This provision aims to address situations where reconciliation attempts have failed despite court intervention. The 2-year and 18-month options are incorrect as the law specifies 1 year.
