Under Hindu Law a mother, in the absence of her son's father, sells her minor son's immovable property. The minor son, on attaining majority, can challenge this transaction
Verified Answer
A. on the ground of not taking permission from the court
B. as the transaction was not done by his father
C. as no such transaction can be done for minor son
D. but he will be unsuccessful because the transaction is valid
Explanation:
Under Section 8 of the Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act, 1956, a natural guardian (which includes the mother in the absence of the father) requires prior permission of the court to sell, mortgage, or otherwise transfer any part of the immovable property of the minor. A transaction without such permission is voidable at the instance of the minor.
