CONJUGAL RIGHTS

This article appears in Volume V06, Page 943 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: COM-COR
CONJUGAL RIGHTS , those rights which a
husband
  and wife (Lat. conjux) have to each other's society. When either party continues to refuse to render these rights to the other, they may be enforced by a suit for the restitution of conjugal rights. In England the
jurisdiction
  which the old ecclesiastical courts exercised to enforce this right was transferred to the divorce
court
  by the Matrimonial Causes Act 18J7. The
procedure
  is by citation and
petition
 , but, before a
petition
  can be filed, a written demand must be made to the refusing party for cohabitation. Previous to the Matrimonial Causes Act 1884, disobedience to a
decree
  for the restitution of conjugal rights rendered the refusing party liable to
attachment
  and imprisonment. The act of 1884 substituted for
attachment
 , if the wife be the petitioner, an order for periodical payments by the
husband
  to the wife. Failure to comply with a
decree
  for restitution is deemed to be desertion, and a sentence of judicial separation may be pronounced, although the period of two years prescribed by the act of 1857 may not have expired. Conjugal rights cannot be enforced by the act of either party (R. v. Jackson, 1891, I Q.B. 671), the proper
procedure
  being to apply to the
court
  for
relief
 .
