1955

The correct answer is Option 4 - 1955

The Hindu Marriage Act was enacted in the year 1955.

Prior to 1955 the Hindu marriages were governed by a complex system of regional customs, religious practices, and unwritten laws. This led to inconsistencies and social injustices, particularly for women.
The Act in 1955 introduced a uniform set of rules for Hindu marriages across India. It established a secular framework for solemnizing marriages, ensuring legal rights and protections for both spouses.
