Which one of the following provisions of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 relates to the grounds of divorce…

Section 13(2) provides the additional grounds on which a wife may seek divorce, including the specified sexual-offence ground, maintenance-related separation ground and repudiation of an underage marriage under its conditions. Section 13(1A) applies to either spouse, while 13A and 13B deal with alternate relief and mutual consent.

Current law: Uttarakhand Code section 25(3) supplies its wife-specific grounds within Code scope. Act 2 of 2026 rewords subsection (3)(i) to list rape, anal sex, bestiality and necrophiliac sexual intercourse; this is separate from the historical HMA provision asked for.
