Question

In which of the following cases was the registration of Hindu marriage made compulsory?

• A. Ashok Kumar v. Vimla Devi
• B. Seema v. Ashwini Kumar
• C. Ashok Hurra v. Rupa Hurra
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

In the case of Seema v. Ashwini Kumar, the Supreme Court held that the registration of Hindu marriages is compulsory. This judgment emphasized the need for registration to ensure the legal validity of the marriage and protect the rights of the parties.

- Option a) Ashok Kumar v. Vimla Devi is incorrect as it did not deal with the issue of compulsory marriage registration.
- Option c) Ashok Hurra v. Rupa Hurra is incorrect as it is related to the validity of divorce proceedings and not marriage registration.
- Option d) None of the above is incorrect because b) Seema v. Ashwini Kumar is
the correct case.

Thus, the correct answer is b) Seema v. Ashwini Kumar.
