Read the statements and choose the correct answer from the following:
(I) The uncodified Hindu Law does not apply to the illegitimate children of a Hindu father by a Christian mother who are brought up as Hindus
(II) The illegitimate children of a Buddhist father and a Hindu mother brought up as a member of the tribe to which she belongs is treated as a Hindu
(III) A follower of Brahmo Samaj is considered as a Hindu.
Answer: A
The answer is Statement (I) is incorrect and (II), (III) are correct.
Statement I is wrong. Children, legitimate or illegitimate, one of whose parents is a Hindu and who are brought up as Hindus are Hindus, so the uncodified Hindu law does apply to them.
Statement II is right: section 2 of the Hindu codifying Acts treats as Hindu a child, legitimate or illegitimate, one of whose parents is a Hindu, Buddhist, Jaina or Sikh and who is brought up as a member of the tribe, community or group to which that parent belongs. Statement III is right: the same section expressly includes followers of the Brahmo, Prarthana and Arya Samaj.
