Hindu Law
Hindu Law refers to the legal system that governs the personal and family matters of individuals who identify as Hindus. It is based on ancient texts, including the Vedas, Upanishads, and Dharmashastras, which outline rules regarding marriage, inheritance, and property rights.
This legal framework has evolved over time, incorporating modern statutes and judicial interpretations. Key aspects include the Hindu Marriage Act, which regulates marriage and divorce, and the Hindu Succession Act, which addresses inheritance and property distribution among family members.
