Which of the following are true with regard to the desertion of a spouse under the Hindu Marriage Act 1955?
A. Factum of Separation.
B. Animus deserendi.
C. Prescribed period of 2 years must have passed before presentation of petition.
D. With reasonable cause.
E. Without the consent of the petitioner.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Desertion under the Hindu Marriage Act requires the factum of separation, the intention to desert (animus deserendi), continuance for the statutory two-year period, and absence of the petitioner's consent, giving "A, B, C, and E only." Desertion must be without reasonable cause, so the 'with reasonable cause' statement is wrong.
