A Correct answer
Explanation

Under Section 12 of the Hindu Marriage Act, the limitation period for seeking annulment of marriage on grounds of fraud is one year from the date the fraud became known to the petitioner. The law recognizes that victims of fraudulent marriages need time to discover the deception before seeking legal remedy. Options with 6 months, 14 months, and 2 years are incorrect as the statute specifically provides one year.
