विशेष विवाह अधिनियम १९५४ मधील कलम २४ अन्वये संपन्न केलेला विवाह खालीलपैकी कोणत्या बाबींच्या आधारे शून्य व निरर्थक घोषीत केला जाऊ शकतो ?
अ. नपुंसकत्व
ब. विवाहयोग्य वयाचा अभाव
क. वेडेपणा

The correct answer is Option A (a, b, c).

Key Points:
• Section 24 of Special Marriage Act, 1954 - Void Marriages (शून्य व निरर्थक विवाह):
• Section 24(1) provides that any marriage solemnized under this Act shall be null and void and may, on a petition presented by either party, be so declared by a decree of nullity if:
• 1. Any of the conditions specified in clauses (a), (b), (c) and (d) of Section 4 has not been fulfilled. Section 4 conditions include:
• Mental capacity/sanity: Neither party is incapable of giving valid consent due to unsoundness of mind/insanity (c - Insanity).
• Age of marriage: The male has completed 21 years and the female 21/18 years (b - Lack of age of marriage).
• Prohibited degrees of relationship.
• 2. Under Section 24(1)(ii), the respondent was impotent at the time of the marriage and at the time of the institution of the suit (a - Impotency).
• Thus, Impotency, Lack of age, and Insanity (violating Section 4) are all recognized grounds for declaring the marriage null and void.
• Officially verified key confirms Option 1 (a, b, c).
• Key Takeaway: Section 24 of the Special Marriage Act 1954 renders marriages null and void on grounds of non-fulfillment of Section 4 conditions (age, sanity) or impotency.
