Who does the text of section 6(c) of the Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act, 1956 name as the natural guardian in the case of a married Hindu minor girl?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Section 6(c) names the husband in the case of a married Hindu minor girl, subject to the disqualifications in section 6. Section 13 makes the minor's welfare paramount when a court appoints or declares a guardian and denies entitlement where guardianship would be against that welfare. The Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006 addresses validity separately. Under its central text, child marriage is generally voidable at the option of the party who was a child, and sections 12 and 14 identify cases of void marriage.
