Marriage is the very foundation of a stable family and civilised society. However, while right to marry is a component of the Right to Life under the Constitution of India and also recognised under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, nobody has a vested right to marriedhood, nor does anyone have a vested right to divorce. Thus there are laws the world over, to regulate the conditions which need to be complied with to enter into or solemnise a legal marriage, the rights and obligations of the parties while in the relationship as also escape routes in cases of real hardship to couples. Restitution of conjugal rights is one such matrimonial relief wherein the spouse can seek help of the court to realize his/her right to consortium of each other. In case one party to the marriage withdraws from the company of the other the later can resort to the court's intervention. This article seeks to analyze this matrimonial relief from the lens of natural justice and individual liberty. The courts have often voiced their skepticism about such a relief.
