Let $B_{k,\ell }(n)$ denote the number of $(k,\ell )$-regular bipartitions of $n$. Employing both the theory of modular forms and some elementary methods, we systematically study the arithmetic properties of $B_{3,\ell }(n)$ and $B_{5,\ell }(n)$. In particular, we confirm all the conjectures proposed by Dou [‘Congruences for (3,11)-regular bipartitions modulo 11’, Ramanujan J.40, 535–540].
