Correct option is B
The correct answer is
(b) A final judgment in a suit for restitution of conjugal rights. A judgment in personam is a judgment that is enforceable against a specific person or persons, as opposed to a judgment in rem, which is enforceable against the world at large. A judgment in a suit for restitution of conjugal rights is directed at the parties involved in the marriage, making it a judgment in personam.
Information Booster:
Judgment in Personam: A judgment in personam affects the rights and obligations of specific individuals. It is binding only on the parties involved in the case and can be enforced against them personally. Examples include judgments in cases of divorce, restitution of conjugal rights, and other personal disputes.
Additional Knowledge:
·
(a) A final judgment in a suit for divorce: This is also a judgment in personam because it affects only the parties involved in the marriage. However, the option (b) more clearly fits the definition provided by the question.
·
(c) A final judgment in a suit for insolvency: While this judgment affects specific individuals, insolvency can have wider implications, including for creditors and other third parties, making it less straightforwardly a judgment in personam.
·
(d) A final judgment in a suit for admiralty matters: Admiralty judgments often relate to property or vessels and can affect rights in rem (against the world), not just specific persons.
