A housemaid gets her 12-year-old daughter to help in her work as a house cleaner at a residential colony instead of sending her to school.
Which fundamental duty is violated by the housemaid?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. To provide opportunities for education to his/her child.
- The housemaid violates the fundamental duty to provide opportunities for education to her child, as stated under Article 51A (k) of the Constitution of India.
- Article 51A (k) states: "It shall be the duty of every citizen of India who is a parent or guardian to provide opportunities for education to their child or ward between the ages of six and fourteen years."
- By engaging her 12-year-old daughter in work instead of sending her to school, the housemaid contravenes this fundamental duty, denying the child her right to education as guaranteed under the Right to Education Act, 2009.
