According to the text of section 46 of the Special Marriage Act, 1954, which knowing and wilful act by a Marriage Officer attracts punishment, subject to applicable jurisdiction-specific judicial directions?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Section 46 penalises knowing and wilful solemnization contrary to its specified notice or other statutory requirements. Its application must respect controlling judicial directions, including Safiya Sultana’s treatment of public notice and objections in the Allahabad High Court’s jurisdiction; a lawful refusal following objection is not that offence.
