Explanation

Solution: In Hindu law, a petition for the restitution of conjugal rights may be filed by the aggrieved party in the Family Court . Here's the explanation: Restitution of Conjugal Rights: It is a legal remedy available to married couples under Hindu law. When one spouse has withdrawn from the society of the other without any reasonable excuse, the aggrieved party can file a petition seeking the court's intervention to restore conjugal rights. This means that the court can order the erring spouse to return and live with their partner. Filing the Petition: In this context, the aggrieved party, the spouse who wants the other to return and live together, has the right to file the petition. This petition can be filed in the Family Court , which is specialized in handling family matters and disputes. The Family Court has jurisdiction over matrimonial issues and is the appropriate legal forum for resolving such cases. So, to seek restitution of conjugal rights, the aggrieved party should file the petition in the Family Court.
