A
Correct answer
Explanation
In Hindu society, marriage is considered a sacrament - a sacred union that cannot be broken. In Islamic law, marriage is a contractual agreement between consenting parties. Statement 3 is incorrect because 'Sapinda' rules refer to prohibited degrees of kinship (exogamy rules forbidding marriage between close relatives), not caste endogamy which concerns marrying within one's caste.
