Which one of the following is not a ground for judicial separation under Section 10 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Under Section 10(1) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, either party to a marriage may present a petition for judicial separation on any of the grounds specified in Section 13(1) (and for a wife, also on the grounds in Section 13(2)). Those grounds include voluntary sexual intercourse with any person other than one's spouse (adultery), cruelty, and conversion to another religion under Section 13(1)(i), (ia), and (ii). Under Section 13(1)(vii), the respondent must not have been heard of as being alive for a period of seven years or more; being missing for less than seven years is not a statutory ground.
