Which of the following are fault grounds of divorce under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955?
(A) Desertion
(B) Cruelty
(C) Consent obtained by force or fraud
(D) Conversion to non Hindu religion
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
Desertion, cruelty and conversion to another religion are fault grounds for divorce under s.13 of the Hindu Marriage Act 1955, so the correct combination is "(A), (B) and (D) only". Consent obtained by force or fraud is a ground for annulment of a voidable marriage under s.12, not a ground for divorce.
