Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Under the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Divorce) Act, 1986, a divorced woman is entitled to a reasonable and fair provision and maintenance made and paid within the iddat period by her former husband, and to an amount equal to the mahr or dower; the statements on three-year child maintenance, maintenance after remarriage and property given only by the husband are inaccurate. Hence "A and E only".
