Solution
The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect. Assertion says that X marries another woman while his lawfully wedded wife is alive. That means he is still married not divorced. This assertion clearly indicates the Bigamy which is an offense under the Hindu Marriage Act 1955.
Reason says that he has divorced his first wife, which does not agree with Assertion.
