The correct answer is (c), Conversion.
The Special Marriage Act, 1954 is a law that governs marriages between Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, Sikhs, and Christians. It provides for a number of grounds on which a marriage can be dissolved, including adultery, cruelty, desertion, and insanity. However, conversion is not a ground for divorce under the Special Marriage Act.
This is because the Act does not recognize religion as a basis for marriage. Under the Act, all marriages are considered to be secular, and there is no requirement for the spouses to share the same religion. As a result, a spouse cannot seek a divorce on the grounds that their partner has converted to a different religion.
It is important to note that this does not mean that a spouse cannot seek a divorce if their partner has converted to a different religion. However, they would need to rely on one of the other grounds for divorce that are listed in the Special Marriage Act.
Adultery is defined as sexual intercourse between a married person and someone who is not their spouse. Cruelty is defined as any act or omission that causes the other spouse to suffer physical or mental pain or injury. Desertion is defined as the continuous absence of one spouse from the other for a period of two years without reasonable cause. Insanity is defined as a mental illness that renders a person incapable of managing their affairs or understanding the nature and consequences of their actions.
If you are considering divorce, it is important to speak to a lawyer to discuss your options. A lawyer can help you understand the grounds for divorce under the Special Marriage Act and can advise you on the best way to proceed with your case.
