The correct answer is option 1, the Hindu Marriage Validity Act. This Act permits legal marriage with a person who does not belong to one`s endogamous group. Endogamy refers to the practice of marrying within a specific group or social class. The Hindu Marriage Validity Act allows Hindus to marry outside their endogamous group, breaking the traditional barriers that restricted marriage choices within the community.

Option 2, the Abolition of Untouchability Act, is not the correct answer as it primarily focuses on the elimination of the practice of untouchability and the promotion of equality among individuals from different castes.

Option 3, the Special Marriage Act, is also not the correct answer. This Act allows for marriage between parties of different religions or different caste backgrounds, but it does not specifically address marriages outside of one`s endogamous group within the Hindu community.

Option 4, the Atya Samaj Marriage Validity Act, is not the correct answer as it is not a recognized Act in India.
