SUIT FOR RESTITUTION OF CONJUGAL RIGHTS

Respectfully Sheweth:-

That the marriage contract/Nikah between the plaintiff and defendant was sanctified on 23.05.2010 in accordance with Muslim Rites and Ceremonies against the dower in the shape of gold ornaments weighing 16 Grams which was given to the defendant by the plaintiff at the time of marriage and same is still under the possession and usage of the defendant. The Rukhsati (joining ceremony of spouses) was taken place on 12.07.2011.

That the defendant joined the plaintiff and the spouses started performing their matrimonial obligations toward each other at the residence of the plaintiff. During some period of marital life, the spouses lived together happily as well as amicably, as the spouses were used to giving due respect and honor to each other. The plaintiff always fulfilled all the necessities and requirements of the defendant according to his financial status. The spouses were blessed by the Almighty Allah, with two children namely Fatima (daughter) now aged about 3 ½ years and a son namely Muhammad Ibrahim now aged about 1 ½ years, who are alive and are residing with the defendant.

That during the period of subsistence, the plaintiff always treated the defendant with love and care while the defendant also spent the initial period of the marriage as an obedient wife but with the passage of time she changed her behavior towards the defendant and often she quarrels towards the plaintiff without any reason or justification, and also used to demand extra and unnecessary articles from the plaintiff just in order to tease and pressurize the plaintiff but the plaintiff always tried his level best to fulfill even her unnecessary demands and requirements to maintain the marital tie as well as for the sake bright future of minor children. The list of articles is also attached herewith for the kind perusal of this Hon’ble court.

That the defendant often leaves the house of the plaintiff without any reason and started living at her parent’s house but the plaintiff always reconciles the matter and takes her back to his house. A few months back, the defendant admitted the minor children to Yateem Khana/orphan care center without any information or permission from the plaintiff and when the plaintiff got knowledge about the minor children, he recovered the minors from the orphan care center.

Before a week, the defendant started the demand for divorce at the instigation of her family members, upon which the plaintiff refused to do so and tried to reconcile the matter but the defendant was always reluctant to consider the sincere efforts of the plaintiff and persisted on her unethical demand of divorce without any plausible reason or cause.

Thereafter, the plaintiff approached to the parents of the defendant for reconciliation, who initially considered and understood the plaintiff but later on, they also established liaison with the defendant meanwhile, one day, the defendant called her brothers and parents at the residence of the spouses and subsequently with the help of her brothers and parents occupied the house of the plaintiff and ousted the plaintiff from his own house by extending threat that if the plaintiff does not pronounce her divorce, then they will kill the plaintiff, in these circumstances, the plaintiff preferred to leave his house instead to break the marriage tie and thereafter the plaintiff time and again requested indirectly the defendant to leave her arrogant and irresponsible behavior and attitude for the sake of martial tie and for the welfare of the children but the defendant has refused to listen to anything reasonable.

That the plaintiff being a loving and caring husband is ready to reconcile the matter and keen to join the defendant by fulfilling all the reasonable demands of the defendant but it is the defendant who refused to allow the plaintiff in his own house and reconcile the matter,  therefore, the plaintiff has no other option except to knock the door of this Hon’ble court for a decree of restitution of conjugal rights.

That the cause of action accrued to the plaintiff firstly, when the defendant with the help of her family occupied the house of the plaintiff, and the same is continuing day by day.

That the cause of action accrued within the territorial limits of this Hon’ble court, hence this Hon’ble court has jurisdiction to try and adjudicate upon the matter.

That the levy of court fee and jurisdiction has been affixed on the plaint.

PRAYER:

In view of the above circumstances, it is, most respectfully prayed that a decree for restitution of conjugal rights may kindly be passed in favor of the plaintiff and against the defendant by issuing direction to the defendant to join the plaintiff and to perform her matrimonial obligations towards the plaintiff at the residence of the plaintiff.
