In which of the following cases it was held that matrimonial rights are not violative of Art. 14 and Art. 21 of the Constitution ?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
In Saroj Rani v. Sudarshan Kumar Chadha (1984) the Supreme Court held that section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, on restitution of conjugal rights, does not violate Articles 14 and 21, as it serves the social purpose of preventing the break-up of marriage. The Andhra Pradesh High Court in T. Sareetha v. T. Venkata Subbaiah (1983) had struck section 9 down as an invasion of privacy, a view the Supreme Court disapproved.
Swaraj Garg v. K.M. Garg concerned the choice of the matrimonial home, and Dastane v. Dastane the meaning of cruelty.
