An order of permanent alimony under section 25 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 can be varied, modified or rescinded in which of the following circumstances?
(I) The party in whose favour the order has been passed remarries.
(II) The recipient is the wife and she has not remained chaste.
(III) The recipient is the husband and he has had sexual intercourse with another woman.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
Section 25(3) of the Hindu Marriage Act allows the court, if satisfied, to vary, modify or rescind a permanent alimony order where the party in whose favour it was made has remarried, or, if that party is the wife, she has not remained chaste, or, if that party is the husband, he has had sexual intercourse with any woman outside wedlock. All three circumstances are covered, so "All of (I), (II) and (III) are correct"; the court still decides as it considers just.
