Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Under classical Muslim law, when a minor (whether a boy or a girl) is contracted in marriage during minority by a guardian, the minor has the right upon attaining puberty to ratify or repudiate the marriage under the doctrine of option of puberty (Khyar-ul-bulugh), subject to the rules governing the class of guardian and non-consummation. Thus, the option of puberty is available to "both wife and husband".
