Restitution and conjugal rights

Restitution and conjugal rights -

restitution of conjugal rightswas an action in the ecclesiastical courts and later in the Court for Divorce and Matrimonial Causes. It was one of the actions relating to marriage, over which the ecclesiastical courts formerly had jurisdiction.

This could be brought against a husband or wife who was guilty of "subtraction"; that is, living away from their spouse without a good reason. If the suit was successful, the married couple would be required to live together again. We are handling wide range of restitution of conjugal rights cases.
