Grounds of voidable marriage under sec. 12 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 are :
(a) Non-consummation due to impotence.
(b) Pre-marriage pregnancy by a person other than the petitioner.
(c) Consent obtained by force or fraud.
(d) Conversion to non-Hindu religion.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Under s.12 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 the grounds of a voidable marriage include non-consummation due to impotence, pre-marriage pregnancy by another, and consent obtained by force or fraud. Conversion to a non-Hindu religion is a ground for divorce, not voidability, so "(a), (b) and (c) are correct, but (d) is incorrect."
