Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

A divorced Muslim woman ordinarily observes iddat before marrying another person; section 2(b) of the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Divorce) Act, 1986 defines the applicable "iddat period" by menstruation, lunar months or pregnancy. Its duration depends on the facts, and personal law recognises exceptions such as divorce before consummation, so a fixed one-year waiting rule is incorrect.
