The constitutional validity of which section of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 was upheld by the Supreme…

Saroj Rani upheld section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act, which provides restitution of conjugal rights. The Supreme Court rejected the challenge under Articles 14 and 21 and distinguished enforcement of a restitution decree from physical compulsion of sexual relations. Sections 13, 16 and 17 concern other matrimonial matters, rather than the provision whose validity was upheld in that decision.
