Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

The proviso to Section 23(2) of the Hindu Marriage Act excludes proceedings based on the specified Section 13(1)(ii) to (vii) grounds from the reconciliation duty. In other cases the court must endeavour to reconcile "where it is possible" consistently with the case’s nature and circumstances; the duty is not an unconditional requirement for a futile attempt.
