Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
A second marriage contracted while an appeal against the divorce decree is pending is "Void", because under section 15 of the Hindu Marriage Act the first marriage subsists until the decree becomes final. In Anurag Mittal v. Shaily Mishra Mittal (2018), however, the Supreme Court held that such a marriage was not void where the appeal was later withdrawn.
