    Question

    Which of the following pairs (Act – Year) is not correctly matched under the Constitution of India?

    A.

    Hindu Succession Act – 1956

    B.

    Hindu Marriage Act – 1955

    C.

    Sati (Prevention) Act – 1987

    D.

    Jammu & Kashmir Reorganisation Act – 1918

    Correct option is D

    The Jammu & Kashmir Reorganisation Act was passed in 2019, not 1918. This Act reorganized the state of Jammu and Kashmir by bifurcating it into two Union Territories: Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh. It was a significant move by the Government of India to alter the political landscape of the region by revoking Article 370, which had provided special autonomy to Jammu & Kashmir since 1949.
    The other acts mentioned in the question are correctly matched:

    Hindu Succession Act, 1956: This Act governs the inheritance and succession of property for Hindus, especially addressing the equal rights of women in inheritance.
    Hindu Marriage Act, 1955: This Act regulates the legal aspects of marriage among Hindus, including conditions for a valid marriage, divorce, and related provisions.
    Sati (Prevention) Act, 1987: Enacted to curb the practice of Sati, where a widow self-immolates or is forced to immolate herself on her husband's funeral pyre. The Act criminalizes the practice and any form of aiding or glorifying it.
