Marriage
And Divorce Laws
New Delhi, June 15.
The first section of the monumental Hindu Code, the controversial social legislation which aims at codifying Hindu law relating to marriage and divorce succession, is once again before the House of the People (the Lower House of Parlia- ment).
It is the Hindu Marriage and Divorce Bill which deals with sacramental marriage and makes provision for divorce, while a separate Special Marriage Bill, also before Parliament, deals with the law relating to civil marriages.
The Hindu Code Bill in tact, is already the general uf a dividend and to which led to a stormy do custom,
