Which one of the following statements is not correct? Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 applies to:

Section 2(1) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 applies the Act to Hindus and expressly to Buddhists, Jains and Sikhs. Section 2(2) provides that nothing in the Act applies to the members of any Scheduled Tribe unless the Central Government directs otherwise by notification.

The incorrect statement is therefore that the Act applies to "Persons belonging to scheduled tribe".
