A Muslim woman is entitled to obtain a decree for the dissolution of her marriage on the ground that

Section 2(v) of the Dissolution of Muslim Marriages Act, 1939 entitles a wife to a decree where "the husband was impotent at the time of the marriage and continues to be so".

Impotence existing only at marriage, or arising only afterwards, does not satisfy the ground. Under proviso (c), the husband may ask the court to give him a year to show that he has ceased to be impotent, and no decree is passed if he does.
