Under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, within what period after discovering the fraud must a petition to annul a marriage on the ground of fraud be presented?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Section 12(2)(a)(i) bars a fraud-based annulment petition presented more than one year after discovery of the fraud. Clause (ii) also bars relief where the petitioner, with full consent, lived with the respondent as spouse after discovery. The one-year answer does not dispense with the statutory requirements for qualifying fraud.
