Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Section 2(vii) of the Dissolution of Muslim Marriages Act, 1939 permits dissolution where the woman was given in marriage by her father or another guardian before she reached 15 and repudiated it before reaching 18. The provision also requires that the marriage has not been consummated. Marriage after 15, or repudiation only after reaching 18, does not satisfy this particular statutory ground.
