2 New Aspects of Matrimonial Reliefs

1. Judicial separation (separate residence): the Code's separate-living orders — the spouse's right to live separately on defined grounds (cruelty, the maintenance-and-treatment failures, the violence protection orders) — the marriage subsisting, the cohabitation suspended: the "divorce lite" of the Nepali system (the remedy for the religiously-or-socially divorce-reluctant; the maintenance rights preserved);2. Restitution of conjugal rights: the classical remedy — the court decreeing the deserting spouse to return to cohabitation — retained in the South Asian statutes (India's Section 9 debates), largely absent as an express Nepali remedy: the honest doctrinal statement (the Code's cohabitation duty without the forced-restitution decree; the remedy's constitutional problem — compelling cohabitation against dignity-and-consent — the Indian T. Sareetha-line critique by name only); the exam answer: know the concept, its Indian career, and the critique;3. The supporting reliefs: maintenance (below), protection orders (Domestic Violence Act 2066), the interim-alimony-and-costs machinery.
