Section 64

Where a court grants a decree of judicial separation it shall no longer be obligatory for the petitioner to cohabit with the respondent.

The court may, on an application by petition of the spouse against whom a decree of judicial separation has been made and on being satisfied that the allegations in the petition are true, rescind the decree at any time on the ground that it was obtained in the absence of the applicant or, if desertion was the ground of the decree, that there was reasonable cause for the alleged desertion.

Judicial separation no bar to petition for divorce
