The necessary implication of union of marriage is that the spouses with lead together a matrimonial life. Marriage has been considered as a sacrament bond in Hindu marriage laws. The conception of restitution of conjugal rights is bolstered on this conception of marriage. Thus, the union is considered unbreakable and is believed to last for seven lives. The decree of restitution provides restoration or reinstatement of person’s marital rights or privileges under Section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. The provision prohibits the dissolution on marriages on the whims and fancies of one spouse. The recent entitlement of right to privacy under article 21 of the Constitution of India has triggered the moot question of constitutionality of the provision. The paper discusses the concept of restitution of Conjugal Rights in light of various case laws. It examines the historical notion of the restitution of conjugal rights and change in notions of marriage and marriage over the years. The author explains the arguments in favour of the restitution of conjugal rights and against the restitution. The research analyses the right to privacy and it studies the provision of restitution in context of privacy jurisprudence.

The concept of marriage and its form has radically changed and it has some time become a status of symbol in society. There are lot of wrong notions have come up like dowry and show of wealth and status in marriage ceremony. On the other hand there are simpler form of marriage as rescriber under Special Marriage Act 1955, providing registration of marriage with no ceremony it also facilitates marriage between persons of different cast and religion. The notion under Hindus that once marriage is perform second marriage is discourage in case of death of husband. This concept has gradually changed now and widows can perform a remarriage basically for safety and security, while under the western culture male female stay together without marriage and even though there are marriages the result in break down and divorces in multiples. So gradually human society is progressing and developing with the institution of marriage though it may not be as strong as it use to be with lot of alternatives and forms and the rate of dissolution of marriage has also gone up suggesting a new trend.
