Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Section 23 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, which limited a female heir's right to claim partition of a dwelling house "wholly occupied by members of his or her family", was omitted by the Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act, 2005. The 1976 and 2010 Acts amended other family laws, and Vineeta Sharma v. Rakesh Sharma (2020) interpreted s. 6, not s. 23.
