BARE ACT ON THE HINDU MARRIAGE ACT,1955  (English, Paperback, Advocate Ashutosh Awasthi)

Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 has reformed Hindu law of Marriage. It is a landmark in the history of social legislation. It has not simply codified the Hindu law of marriage but has introduced certain important changes in many respects. The Hindu marriage contemplated by the Act hardly remains sacramental. The Act has brought in some changes of far reaching consequences which have undermined the sacramental nature of marriage and rendered it contractual in nature to a great extent. The Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 came into force to secure the rights of marriage for the wife and husband who are Hindu and they are bound under the religious bond of marriage under any ceremony. As there are many ways that a man and a woman can conduct this religious act, so this law does not define kinds of the ceremony to be carried out. After marriage, the registration process should be conducted properly and if any problem occurs between the parties and they want a divorce, they can carry out the divorce proceedings and also if they want to get remarried after divorce then the process for the same can be understood by this act.
