The Rakhmabai case of 1884 was related to the issue of the age of consent. Rakhmabai, a child bride, refused to go and live with her husband when she turned 18, which was the age of consent under the Indian Penal Code. Her husband filed a case of restitution of conjugal rights against her, and the case went to court. The case became a cause célèbre and led to a heated debate on the age of consent for marriage. The correct answer is (b) 2 and 3 only.
