There is no punishment to a wife for not obeyong Court orders. What else can be done if she doesnt want to live with her husband? He should ask the Court for divorce. RCR is the intermediatory procedure before going for divorce.

In fact decree for restitution of conjugal right is one of the very few decree which cannot be executed by any coercive power.

After waiting for one year, husband can seek divorce. The decree for restitution of conjugal rights can't be executed if the other party is not witlling.

Manu,

What do you want to do? If you want to take the divorce then you need to apply for the divorce after the completion of 1 year of RCR decree. In that case the divorce will not take time.
