Indian Evidence Act (IEA) 1872 Burden of Proof

Which of the following section of the Indian Evidence Act deals with birth during marriage, conclusive proof of legitimacy?

Section 111

Section 112

Section 113

Section 116

Explanation:

- Section 111: This section is not about legitimacy or birth during marriage. It deals with the proof of good faith when one person relies on a belief stemming from another's act.

- Section 112: This section is about the legitimacy of a child born during marriage. It presumes that a child born during a valid marriage or within 280 days after its dissolution, provided the mother remains unmarried, is the legitimate child of the husband. This presumption can be rebutted only by proving non-access between the husband and wife.

- Section 113: This section relates to the presumption regarding abetment of suicide by a married woman, not legitimacy.

- Section 116: It is about estoppel in tenancy, not related to birth or legitimacy.

- Correct Answer: Option 2, Section 112.
