Which one of the following Sections of the Hindu Marriage Act relates to voidable marriage?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Section 12 identifies the grounds on which a marriage is voidable and may be annulled by a decree. Section 10 concerns judicial separation, section 13 divorce, and section 8 registration. A voidable marriage is distinct from a void marriage under section 11.

Current law: For marriages governed by the Uttarakhand UCC, voidable marriage is addressed in section 24 rather than HMA section 12. The governing statute, resident scope, exclusions and transition provisions must be checked.
