Which of the following ancient forms of marriages were not approved by Hindu Law?
1. Gandharva
2. Arsha
3. Prajapatya
4. Asura
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
In the traditional classification, Gandharva and Asura are among the unapproved forms; Arsha and Prajapatya are approved forms. This asks the ancient classification rather than whether a modern marriage satisfying the governing statute is valid. The unapproved label should not be equated with automatic statutory nullity today.
