One who hates the institution of marriage:

• A. misogynist
• B. misanthrope
• C. philanthropy
• D. misogamist

Answer 1

The correct option is D misogamist

Misogamy is the aversion or hatred of marriage, hence Option D is the correct answer because a misogamist is one who hates the idea or institution of marriage.

Option A is incorrect because a “misogynist” is one who dislikes, contempts ingrained prejudice against women, hence it not the same as one who hates marriages.

Option B is incorrect because a “misanthropist “ is one who dislikes humankind and avoids human society, hence it is incorrect.

Option C is incorrect because “philanthropy “ means the desire to promote the welfare of others, expressed especially by the generous donation of money to good causes, hence it is not related to the given statement, so it is incorrect.
