As muslim marriage is a contract,the case is to be filed for the specific performance of the terms of the marriage. Muslim woman can obviously file a case for restitution of her conjugal rights.

Yes ,Muslim wife can seek restitution of conjugal rights agaisnt her husband if she proves legally wedded in the form of Nikha.As Muslim marriage is a contractual un like neptual in Hindus,the same may be disovled on the valid reasons as per sheria. In the instant case,the claims of husband that he has not kept but under gone wedding which is no harm in muslim as a muslim is allowed to 4 wives at a time.All the wives can file restitution of conjugal Rights in the event he desert each of them.

mr alok.

can u tell inwhich act he ask maint from wife.as i know that muslim husband is not intital of maint from wife.even wife is millionear n husband is begger.in muslim law husband has duty to maint to her wife.but in under 24hma husband can ask maint from wife.this is unfournate in india judicery when muslim husband ask maint then judge implement shariya law but when widivorce wife ask maint then under crpc125 law grant.if u ask why then judge reply this law isa common for all.but in this law its clear mention if wife refuse to stay with husband if husband does keep mistress or contract marraige.its ground for refusal.but in muslim if husband refuse to maintain first wife then can pass the order .if husband is ready to maintain first wife she can ask seprate house but she can not refuse to stay with husband.now u all lawyer think the law.in crpc if u pass maint of wife n justify the refusal of wife .then u ve null the second marraige.coz u can not justify maint on the ground of second marraige that time judge said its a personal law,so think the judicery in crpc 2 interpetion for maint .in crpc no one can perform second marraige without taking divorce so judge has to null second marraige of muslim men while passing order for maint. pls through some light from lawyer cumminity.

mr sarfraz better to give tahlaq.if u ve time then file rcr it will run 3to 5 yrs n end of the day ur hand will be emty.where ur wife filed the case same u serve notice to ur wife advocate n mention that i m giving tahlaq n pay iddat money 4month 10 days n mehar.by cheque.if lawyer will not accept money make one petion that i m paying iddat maint n mehar amount but they r not accepting money then it will come in court record.this is simple advise to u.otherwise if u ve time file rcr wait 5yrs judgement will come then wait one yr.if she will not come then she is defulter.no court will force to stay with husband.even if u file rcr u ve to pay maint.even she refuse then also pay.for descussion crpc125 clause 4 its good but for practical its bad.i m the best example my wife refused to stay with me which is mention in the judgement coz she stated i got second marraige judge asked proof she replied no proof only oral .n judge awarded maint.so better give tahlaq n permorm second marraige.coz no body knows when sc pass the order muslim can not perform second marraige.which is happened in maint.

best of luck.
