Outside the special proof rule in section 6(5) of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, which statement describes the possible forms of an otherwise valid family arrangement dividing immovable property of a joint Hindu family?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
An otherwise valid family arrangement may be oral.
A written instrument that itself creates or declares rights in immovable property ordinarily requires registration. A later memorandum that simply records an already completed arrangement is distinct.
The question excludes the special recognition rule under section 6(5) of the Hindu Succession Act.
Option feedback
Option A
A valid oral family arrangement is possible under the ordinary rule.
Option B
Writing is unnecessary for an otherwise valid oral family arrangement.
Option C
An oral agreement can suffice. Registration generally applies when a written instrument itself creates or declares rights in the property.
Option D
A consensual family arrangement can divide property without a court decree under the ordinary rule.
