The Hindu Marriage Act of 1955 established a number of reasons for divorce, including adultery, cruelty, conversion to a different religion, and others. Failure to pay the bride price or dowry is not one of the possibilities listed as a reason for divorce under this act. In fact, the Dowry Prohibition Act of 1961 makes requesting dowry a felony in and of itself. As a result, Option C not only does not qualify as a basis for divorce but is also prohibited in India.
