  to cohabit on grounds of petitioner's change of religion
  If the respondent be a male, and in answer to
  
  the interrogatories of the Judge or Commissioners, as the case may be, shall
  
  refuse to cohabit with the petitioner, the Judge, if upon consideration of the

  petitioner he shall be of opinion that the ground for such refusal is the
  
  petitioner's change of religion, shall adjourn the case for a year.
  At the expiration of such adjournment, the
  
  petitioner shall again appear in Court; and if the respondent on being
  
  interrogated by the Judge or Commissioners, as the case may be, again refuse to
  
  cohabit with the petitioner, the Judge shall thereupon pass such a decree as
  
  last aforesaid:
  Proviso.- Provided that if the petitioner shall
  
  so desire (but not otherwise), the proceedings in the suit shall, mutatis
  
  mutandis, be the same as in the case of a female respondent.
