Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Section 9 provides restitution of conjugal rights when one spouse withdraws from the other’s society without reasonable excuse, subject to the court being satisfied of the statutory requirements. Section 10 is judicial separation, section 12 annulment of voidable marriages, and section 13 divorce.

Current law: For persons to whom the Uttarakhand UCC applies, its section 21 now provides restitution of conjugal rights. The HMA section number remains 9 in its own statutory scheme.
