Hindu Law is a comprehensive system of legal principles derived from Hindu scriptures, such as the Vedas, Smritis, and Shastras, governing aspects like marriage, inheritance, property rights, and family law. Rooted in the concept of Dharma (moral law), it regulates the duties and responsibilities of individuals within a family or society. Over time, Hindu Law has adapted to modern circumstances through legislative reforms, including the Hindu Marriage Act (1955), the Hindu Succession Act (1956), and the Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act (1956), ensuring equal rights for women and progressive changes in the legal framework.
