When a marriage has been dissolved by a decree of divorce under Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 and there is a right of appeal, the divorced persons may marry again:-
Answer: D
They may remarry after expiry of the time for appealing, without any appeal having been presented.
Section 15 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 provides that when a marriage has been dissolved by a decree of divorce and either there is no right of appeal, or the time for appealing has expired without an appeal being presented, or an appeal has been presented but dismissed, either party may marry again.
The fixed periods of one or two months are not in the section; the earlier one-year bar on remarriage was removed in 1976. Marrying immediately after the decree, while an appeal is still possible, is exactly what the section prevents.
