jQuery checkbox validation in same class

I wonder if I can validate checkbox can be selected with only one option based on each question like the radio button. However, I am using the same class for all checkboxes even though they have different titles.

Is it possible to validate each question rather than validating with the class name? Here is the HTML and Jquery code below. Thanks in advance.

--- HTML ---

    <div><label class="k-checkbox-label" >Question 1</label> 
      <input type="checkbox" id="q1_yes" class="k-checkbox">
      <label class="k-checkbox-label" >Yes</label>
      <input type="checkbox" id="q1_no" class="k-checkbox uk-margin-left">
      <label class="k-checkbox-label" >No</label>
    </div>
    <div><label class="k-checkbox-label" >Question 2</label> 
      <input type="checkbox" id="q2_yes" class="k-checkbox">
      <label class="k-checkbox-label" >Yes</label>
      <input type="checkbox" id="q2_no" class="k-checkbox uk-margin-left">
      <label class="k-checkbox-label" >No</label>
    </div>
     <div><label class="k-checkbox-label" >Question 3</label> 
      <input type="checkbox" id="q3_yes" class="k-checkbox">
      <label class="k-checkbox-label" >Yes</label>
      <input type="checkbox" id="q3_no"class="k-checkbox uk-margin-left">
      <label class="k-checkbox-label" >No</label>
    </div>
     <div><label class="k-checkbox-label" >Question 4</label> 
      <input type="checkbox" id="q4_yes" class="k-checkbox">
      <label class="k-checkbox-label" >Yes</label>
      <input type="checkbox" id="q4_no" class="k-checkbox uk-margin-left">
      <label class="k-checkbox-label" >No</label>
    </div>

    $('input.k-checkbox').on('change', function() {
        $('input.k-checkbox').not(this).prop('checked', false);  
    });
