Discussion
"The fact that any person was born during the continuance of a valid marriage between his mother and any man, or within two hundred and eighty days after its dissolution, the mother remaining unmarried, shall be conclusive proof that he is the legitimate son of that man, unless it can be shown that the parties to the marriage had no access to each other at any time when he could have been begotten". As per Indian Evidence Act, 1872, which section is being discussed here?
Answer: B
The passage quoted is the text of Section 112 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, which makes birth during a valid marriage, or within 280 days after its dissolution while the mother remains unmarried, conclusive proof of legitimacy unless non-access of the parties is shown.
Section 125 of the Act deals with information as to the commission of offences, a different subject. The Evidence Act does not run as far as Sections 223 or 287, so those options cannot be right.
