The marriage is the union of man and woman and the law accords its sanction to such a union. However, if one spouse is not available for the company, the entire edifice of the marriages breaks down and falls to the ground. Thus, if the other spouse is not available for sexual intercourse because (i) the other spouse is imprisoned, (ii) whereabouts is not known, (iii) marriage is not consummated, (iv) of non resumption of conjugal rights, (v) of non resumption of cohabitation after the decree of judicial separation, (vi) of desertion, the very purpose of marriage is defeated. As such, it is usual for all matrimonial laws to provide for the divorce on any one of the above grounds. The Parsi Act also provides for divorce on all such grounds.
