Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Section 3 of the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act, 2019 declares any pronouncement of talaq as defined in section 2(c), that is talaq-e-biddat or a similar instantaneous and irrevocable form, to be "Void and illegal". Cognizability and compounding relate to the separate offence under sections 4 and 7, not to the legal effect of the pronouncement under section 3.
