Section 29(2) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 preserves:

Section 29(2) of the Hindu Marriage Act provides that nothing in the Act affects "any right recognised by custom or conferred by any special enactment to obtain the dissolution of a Hindu marriage, whether solemnized before or after the commencement of this Act". It saves only rights to dissolution; customs on age of marriage or plural marriage are overridden by s.4.
