Instructions : Answer the question 61 64
Nos. 61 to 64 on the basis of the
following passage :
Rukhmabai was married at the age
of 11 to Dadaji, an illiterate boy of
18. As she was too young, she was
not sent to her husband’s home. She
refused to join him when she grew
up and so in 1884, Dadaji filed a suit
1884
for getting her legal possession. She
argued that she was married
without her consent and therefore
she should not be forced to live with
him. The verdict went in her favour
though Dadaji argued that the
scriptures did not back her claim.
When Dadaji appealed in the High
Court, it accepted his claim and
ordered that she should live with
Dadaji or else face imprisonment.
This stirred up a great debate about
women’s rights among the Indian
intellectuals with M.G. Ranade
offering scriptural and moral support
to Rukhmabai and B.G. Tilak
advising her to improve her husband
and live happily with him. After an 1889
Out of Court Settlement in 1889, she
went to England to become a doctor.
She served as a doctor of women and
children in India till 1955. 1955
