Correct Answer:
B. Muslim Personal Law
When a female tenant loses a limited interest by marriage, her inheritance is determined as per Muslim Personal Law. In many jurisdictions, particularly for Muslim individuals, matters of inheritance, succession, and personal status are governed by their respective religious laws, unless a specific secular statute overrides them. This ensures adherence to religious tenets in personal matters.
- Customary Law, while historically significant, is often superseded by codified personal laws in modern legal systems for inheritance.
- Schedule I is a generic term for an appendix in an act and does not define inheritance rules independently.
- Collector’s discretion is incorrect as inheritance is a legal right governed by established laws, not an administrative officer's personal judgment.
