Question

A child in the mother's womb is by legal fiction regarded as already born. If he is born alive, he will have a legal status. Though law normally takes cognizance of living human beings yet the law makes an exception in case of an infant in

• A. Nemo det quod non habet
• B. En venture sa mere
• C. Ubi jus ibi remedium
• D. Vinculum juris

Hint:

*En venture sa mere* protects the unborn child’s rights, such as property inheritance, contingent on live birth.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The legal fiction that a child in the womb (*en venture sa mere*, meaning "in the mother’s womb") is treated as born for certain legal purposes (e.g., inheritance), provided it is born alive, is recognized in Indian law under the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, and Hindu Succession Act, 1956. Thus, the correct answer is: \[ {\text{En venture sa mere}} \]
