Answer 1

The Hindu Code Bill was passed in the year 1955. 

Explanation:

The Hindu Code Bill was passed in 1955. This landmark legislation brought significant reforms to Hindu personal laws, including marriage, inheritance, adoption, and guardianship. It aimed to modernize and codify Hindu traditions while promoting gender equality. Key elements of the bill were enacted through acts such as the Hindu Marriage Act (1955) and the Hindu Succession Act (1956). These reforms were part of Jawaharlal Nehru's vision for a progressive and unified legal system for Hindus, addressing social justice and empowering women.
