Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Uncle and niece are within the degrees of prohibited relationship under section 3(g)(iv) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, but section 5(iv) allows such a marriage where the custom or usage governing each of them permits it; any applicable sapinda bar under section 5(v) has the same custom exception. The marriage is therefore "Valid if a legally recognised custom or usage governing each party permits the marriage"; otherwise it is void under section 11.
