Which of the following is one of the legal consequences of divorce under Muslim Law?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Once a Muslim divorce becomes complete and irrevocable, the marriage ends with all its incidents: the parties may marry again (the wife only after completing iddat), cohabitation between them becomes unlawful, and mutual rights of inheritance cease. All three listed consequences follow, so "All of the given options are correct". During the iddat of a revocable divorce, however, the marriage subsists for some purposes, including inheritance.

Current law: For covered Uttarakhand marriages, effective 27 January 2025, UCC section 29 requires statutory dissolution and section 30 regulates remarriage after the relevant decree and appeal conditions. The historical personal-law sequence alone cannot establish remarriage eligibility under that State regime.
