Which of the following is not a distinct statutory relief or provision under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
"Domestic violence" is governed as a distinct statutory framework by the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 rather than as a separate relief under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 (although acts of domestic violence may amount to cruelty for divorce or judicial separation under Section 13(1)(ia)). By contrast, restitution of conjugal rights (Section 9), nullity of marriage (Sections 11 and 12), and legitimacy of children of void and voidable marriages (Section 16) are expressly provided for in the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955.
