Which circumstance satisfies one of the conditions in section 4(3) of the Pre-conception and Pre-natal Diagnostic Techniques (Prohibition of Sex Selection) Act, 1994, assuming the other statutory requirements are met?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Two or more spontaneous abortions or fetal losses satisfy the condition in section 4(3)(ii). The qualified person must record written reasons for being satisfied that a listed condition applies.
An age above 35 is a separate condition. The family-history condition requires a specified history to be present.
Section 4 also limits the purposes for which the techniques may be used.

The age condition requires the pregnant woman to be above 35 years of age.
