Section 110. Assumption of Conjugal relationship.
(1) In this section "revocable divorce" means a divorce by one or two talak not followed by such a lapse of time as to render it irrevocable, and "recohabit" means resume conjugal relations within the period before the divorce has become irrevocable.
(2) If after a revocable divorce recohabitation takes place by mutual consent, the parties shall within seven days report the fact of such recohabitation and all relevant particulars to the Registrar of the mukim in which they reside. The Registrar shall make such enquiry as may be necessary and, if satisfied that recohabitation has taken place in accordance with Muslim law, shall upon payment of the prescribed fees, register such recohabitation by endorsement upon the counterfoil of the certificate of the divorce, if such divorce was registered by him, and shall require the parties to deliver to him the relevant certificates of divorce and shall issue to them certificates of recohabitation in the prescribed form. Any party who fails to report the fact of such recohabitation to such Registrar shall be liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding fourteen days or to a fine not exceeding fifty dollars or to both such imprisonment and fine.
(3) If the divorce was not registered by that Registrar, he shall record on the certificates of divorce the number and particulars of the certificates of recohabitation and shall forward the certificates of divorce to the Registrar by whom the same were issued, and such other Registrar shall thereupon register the recohabitation by endorsement in like manner.
(4) If a revocable divorce has taken place without the knowledge of the wife, the husband shall not require, or request the wife to recohabit with him without disclosing to her the fact of such divorce.
(5) If after a revocable divorce the husband has pronounced a rojok-
(a) if the wife has consented to the rojok, she may on the application of the husband be ordered by a Kathi to resume conjugal relations, unless she shall show good cause in accordance with Muslim law to the contrary, in which case the Kathi shall appoint Hakam as provided in section 109;
(b) if the wife has not consented to the rojok, she shall not be ordered by the Kathi to resume conjugal relations, but on her application the Kathi may require her husband to divorce her and on his refusal shall appoint Hakam as provided in section 109.
