How women in polygamous marriages are divided in terms of property rights


Option: 3

The recognition of "live-in" relationships under Hindu Law

Answers (1)

The main problem in the Sarla Mudgal case was Hindu husbands who converted to Islam in order to remarry without divorcing their first Hindu wife. The first Hindu marriage is not dissolved by such conversion, the court ruled, and the second marriage would be invalid, making the husband guilty of bigamy under the Indian Penal Code. hence option A is the correct option.
