Section 7 of the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006 primarily reflects which principle of family law adjudication?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Section 7 lets the court vary maintenance and custody orders on a change of circumstances "even after the final disposal of the petition", which is continuing jurisdiction. Such orders are therefore not final in the way a decree is, and res judicata and estoppel do not prevent a fresh order.
