Question and options
Under section 2 of the Transfer of Property Act 1882, the Chapter II rule against perpetuity does not affect rules of which personal law?
Hindu Law
Mohammadan Law
Christian Law
Parsi Law
Answer and explanation
Section 2 saves rules of Muhammadan law from Chapter II, which contains the rule against perpetuity in section 14. The express saving identifies Muhammadan law only. Section 2 makes no such saving for Hindu, Christian or Parsi law, so Chapter II, including the rule against perpetuity, applies to transfers by persons governed by those laws.
