C Correct answer
Explanation

Option C is correct. The Special Marriage Act was enacted in 1954 to provide a secular form of marriage for Indians of different faiths or those wishing to marry outside religious personal laws. It came shortly after the Constitution (1950) and the Hindu Code Bills (1955-56), part of India's early post-independence legal modernization.
