Question

A discrimination against a man or a woman, only on grounds of would be violative of Article 15(1)

• A. Sex
• B. Remuneration
• C. Place of birth
• D.

Hint:

Article 15(1) prohibits discrimination on the grounds of R-R-C-S-P (Religion, Race, Caste, Sex, Place of Birth). Discrimination based on being a 'man or a woman' falls squarely under the ground of 'Sex'.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Article 15(1) of the Constitution of India states: "The State shall not discriminate against any citizen on grounds only of religion, race, caste, sex, place of birth or any of them." The question asks about discrimination against a "man or a woman," which directly relates to the ground of sex. While place of birth and religion (option d) are also prohibited grounds, 'sex' is the specific ground that pertains to discrimination based on being a man or a woman. Remuneration is not a prohibited ground under Article 15(1).
