Read the text and answer the question by selecting all the correct responses. You will need to select more than one response.

Marriage is one of the oldest human institutions and this is as true in Indian culture as anywhere else is thought of as the greatest sacrifice that a father can make and for the groom as an obligation to perpetuate his bloodline. Many people believe that a marriage is still binding after death. By Medieval times Marriage was compulsory for girls, who very often married between the ages of eight and nine. Among those able to afford it, polygamy was common and rulers would often have one wife from their own region and other minor wives from other areas. Divorce and remarriage were not always possible. Now, divorce and remarriage is possible and non-Muslim Indian men can only have one wife.

Option 2: "Were sometimes not possible in the past."

Explanation: This option is correct as the text indicates that divorce and remarriage were not always possible in earlier times, particularly during Medieval times when marriage was compulsory and divorce was not common. This aligns with the historical context provided in the text.

Option 1: "Are only possible for non-Muslims."

Explanation: This option is incorrect because the text states that divorce and remarriage are now possible, but it does not limit this possibility to non-Muslims only. The statement is misleading as it implies exclusivity that is not supported by the text.

Option 3: "Have only become possible in modern times."

Explanation: This option is incorrect because while the text mentions that divorce and remarriage are now possible, it does not state that they were entirely impossible before modern times. The phrasing suggests an absolute change that is not supported by the text.

Option 4: "A duty for the man to continue his family."

Explanation: This option is correct as the text describes marriage as an obligation for the groom to perpetuate his bloodline, indicating that it is viewed as a duty. This reflects the cultural significance of marriage in the context of family continuation.

Option 5: "Thought to end at death."

Explanation: This option is incorrect because the text states that many people believe marriage is still binding after death, which contradicts the claim that it is thought to end at death. Therefore, this option misrepresents the information provided.

Option 6: "A duty for the father."

Explanation: This option is incorrect as the text does not describe marriage as a duty for the father. Instead, it emphasizes the groom's obligation to continue his bloodline, making this option misleading and not supported by the text.
