Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
Each described complainant can proceed under the stated conditions. Section 219 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 198 CrPC) permits specified close relatives to complain for a wife aggrieved by bigamy under section 82 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 and permits other blood, marital or adoptive relatives with the court's leave. Because G is under eighteen, another person may also complain on her behalf with leave; an appointed guardian must first receive an opportunity to be heard.
