Technically, the owner of the house has the right to sell, rent out, lease or otherwise dispose of the property as he pleases. Since this particular apartment is in a housing society, I am assuming that there may be a chance that the owners may have signed a contract with the society. Or there could be a society by-laws document. 

Then, it will depend on the contract between the owners of the houses who are members of the housing societies. Often, there is nothing of relevance to your question in this document between the owners of houses and society. 

However, they have these meetings etc. where they decide questions relating to the society, e.g., fire drills, maintenance etc. During these meetings, they decide upon and make unreasonable regulations such as the one that you have pointed out in your question.

The answer to your question is - Ordinarily, the housing society cannot legally compel the landlords to not rent their apartments to certain persons based on their marital status.  Such a condition is nonsensical and against public interest.
