WRONG ANSWER (Question: 191974.0 )

THE ANSWER IS WRONG...FORGOING TRADITIONAL HINDU LAWS DOESN'T ASSURE THE SAFETY OF THEIR FINANCES ,WHICH COMES ONLY AND ONLY WHEN YOU HAVE A PRE NUPTIAL AGREEMENT.. ACOORDING TO THE PASSAGE

Question:
DIRECTIONS: You have a brief passage with 5 questions. Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.


While everyone hopes that the union of marriage be life lasting, the cold reality is that even in India, the level of divorce has increased. To protect oneself from undue harassment over ownership of assets, a prenuptial agreement must be in place. But in India, these are considered taboo, and are not openly discussed.


A prenuptial agreement is a contract between two individuals who are about to get married, detailing the assets, liabilities and financial resources held by each, and an equal division of assets, should a divorce occur. What makes these agreements unique for many Indians is that couples forgo their rights to traditional Hindu laws in order to make sure that their individual finances are safe. 


The agreement should detail the division of property, financial assets, liabilities as well as division of personal possessions clearly, and should be notarised by independent lawyers for each party. Further, it should be fair and duly acknowledged by both parties.


In India, however, prenuptial agreements are neither legal nor valid, since marriage is not considered a contract in most faiths. It is a religious bond between husband and wife, and prenuptial agreements need the contract to be made valid under the Indian Contract Act, 1872. In some religions, however, marriage is considered a contract and, therefore, the laws applicable are different and need to be approached appropriately.


Till just about five years ago. such agreements were almost unheard of in India, but are now on a rise, mostly among the more affluent classes. One could attribute the change to a growing number of divorces  in the country. 

The couples are making sure that their individual finances are safe- 
Options:
A) By divorcing their spouses
B) By forgoing their rights to traditional Hindu laws  
C) By harassing their spouses
D) By legalizing their marriages
Solution:
Ans: (b) As clearly expressed in the last line of the second paragraph of the passage.
