Which of the following is not a source of Modern Hindu Law:
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
Under the conventional historical classification, legislation, judicial precedent and justice/equity/good conscience are modern sources, whereas custom is grouped among traditional sources of Hindu law. That classification does not mean custom has ceased to operate: HMA 3(a) defines it and 5(iv)–(v) recognize qualifying customary exceptions; legislation overrides customs only to the extent stated.
