Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Section 44 reaches "every person whose marriage is solemnized under this Act" who, during the lifetime of the spouse, contracts any other marriage, and that later marriage is void. Merely giving notice of an intended marriage does not bring a person within the section; a Marriage Officer's defaults fall under section 46.
