Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Section 2 of the Dissolution of Muslim Marriages Act, 1939 gives a wife divorce where the husband is sentenced to seven years' or more imprisonment, is continuously impotent, or has been absent with whereabouts unknown for four years; insanity as a ground requires two years, not one. Hence "I, II and IV are correct, but III is incorrect."
