Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e.  1955

  • The Hindu Marriage Act was enacted in the year 1955.
  • The main purpose of the law is to amend and codify the law relating to marriage between Hindus and others. In addition to amending and codifying the Sastrik law, separation and divorce were also included, which is also in the Sastrik law. This enactment brought uniformity of law for all sections of Hindus. In India there are religion-specific civil codes that separately govern adherents of certain other religions.
