Which out of the following is not mentioned as a reason of dispute in marriage?

Directions: Read the following passage and answer the question that follows.

As per law when a man and woman are married, it is clearly understood that both would live together and share a conjugal relationship. However, sometimes, problems are caused due to several factors-ill treatment of woman by her in-laws, joint family issues, employment of the woman in some other town or husband’s behaviour towards his wife. In worst cases a woman might even opt to walk out of husband’s house. Commonly, the husband would make his best of efforts to bring back his wife to his house. Husband might go to the court as a last option. It is much too controversial subject to pass judgement on legal issues pertaining the right of one spouse to demand the company of the other. It has been over a century since this subject was recognized in India. The restitution of conjugal rights was introduced into Indian law during the British rule. It is interesting to know the history as to how this provision got into the laws related to marriage and divorce in our country. The origin of this provision is found in the religious courts of England where a decree of ‘restitution of conjugal rights’ could be issued and an unwilling spouse was compelled by law to live with the complaining spouse. Those who disobeyed the orders could be imprisoned. In India, according to the traditional Hindu law, litigation regarding matters of marriage was not permitted so the husband and wife were obliged to stick together for a lifetime. Husband was treated as a god by his wife and the wife could be separated from husband neither by ‘sale’ nor by ‘desertion’ as mentioned by Manu, the author of ancient text that provided grounds for litigation in India.

The gallery named ‘Fifth Dimension’ was started by a young lady in 1978 and for about over 3 decades she has tried to work for the promotion of the young, upcoming and talented artists.

It is observed that the medium of sculpture has received comparatively less attention in the contemporary art than painting instead of sculpture for different reasons. However, sculpture has been an integral part of collection at ‘Fifth Dimension’. There are works in wood, terracotta, bronze, ceramic, stone and mixed media in its collection. Creations of Prabhu Katayal, an artist working with beaten and welded metal sheets finds a place in the collection. The themes of the works are mostly of mythical and lyrical nature. There is a sense of strength as well as lightness in his works. There are also works by a group of three artists who have been experimenting with ‘smooth against rough’ technique in granite. One of these artists works in a very interesting way of carving out facial forms with only one prominent feature like a finely rendered nose or mouth against a flat and rough ovoid face. Yet another sculptor who works in metal too has his share in the collection of the gallery. This sculptor’s work shows the influence of Chola bronzes i.e., the rich repository of cast-metal works carried out by the craftsmen during the Chola dynasty. Despite his leanings towards the traditional form of art, he has retained an abstract quality in his works.
