Understanding Restitution of conjugal rights

Numerous provisions of Indian personal law recognise the significance of conjugal rights in a marriage. In the strictest sense, marriage rights refer to the freedom to cohabit and have a sexual relationship with one's spouse.

"Restitution of Conjugal Rights" is a legal provision that enables the offended party to restore cohabitation against a spouse who withdrew without cause. This is frequently considered a strategy to keep a marriage intact. This article will discuss the restitution of conjugal rights, meaning restitution of conjugal rights filed by the husband, restitution of conjugal rights filed by the wife, Section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, its constitutional validity, limitations and international perspective.

Global Hunger Index 2022: What is India's rank?

Even though enough food is produced worldwide to feed everyone, up to 828 million people still go without food. World hunger is increasing, affecting approximately 10% of people worldwide, after consistently dropping for a decade. Sources from the Union Health Ministry claimed on Tuesday that the Global Hunger Index exaggerates the severity of hunger, lacks statistical rigour, and has numerous flaws resulting from India placing 107th out of 121 countries in this year's rankings. They claimed that the study "deliberately ignores the huge efforts undertaken by the government to maintain food security for the populace, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic" and that it "does not genuinely quantify hunger." According to sources, three of the four indicators we utilised were connected to children's health and could not be generalised to the entire population.
