Hindu Law Reforms

Hindu Law Reforms refer to legal changes aimed at improving the rights and social status of Hindus, especially women and marginalized groups. Key reforms include the Hindu Marriage Act (1955), which modernized marriage laws; the Hindu Succession Act (1956), promoting equal inheritance rights; and laws banning practices like Sati and child marriage. These reforms seek to promote gender equality, protect individual rights, and update traditional laws to reflect contemporary values, reducing social inequalities while respecting religious beliefs.
