Nice attempt, here is what you are saying from Manusamriti… But it carries a different meaning dude…

“A girl, a young woman, or even an old woman should not do anything independently, even in (her own) house. In childhood a woman should be under her father’s control, in youth under her husband’s, and when her husband is dead, under her sons’. She should not have independence. A woman should not try to separate herself from her father, her husband, or her sons, for her separation from them would make both (her own and her husband’s) families contemptible. She should always be cheerful, and clever at household affairs; she should keep her utensils well-polished and not have too free a hand in spending. When her father, or her brother with her father’s permission, gives her to someone, she should obey that man while he is alive and not violate her vow to him when he is dead. Benedictory verses are recited and a sacrifice to the Lord of Creatures (Prajapati) is performed at weddings to make them auspicious, but it is the act of giving away (the bride) that makes (the groom) her master. A husband who performs always makes his woman happy, both when she is in her fertile season and when she is not, both here on earth and in the world beyond. A virtuous wife should constantly serve her husband like a god, even if he behaves badly, freely indulges his lust, and is devoid of any good qualities. Apart (from their husbands), women cannot sacrifice or undertake a vow or fast; it is because a wife obeys her husband that she is exalted in heaven. A virtuous wife should never do anything displeasing to the husband who took her hand in marriage, when he is alive or dead, if she longs for her husband’s world (after death). When her husband is dead she may fast as much as she likes, (living) on auspicious flowers, roots, and fruits, but she should not even mention the name of another man. She should be long-suffering until death, self-restrained, and chaste, striving (to fulfill) the unsurpassed duty of women who have one husband. Many thousands of Brahmins who were chaste from their youth have gone to heaven without begetting offspring to continue the family. A virtuous wife who remains chaste when her husband has died goes to heaven just like those chaste men, even if she has no sons. But a woman who violates her (vow to her dead) husband because she is greedy for progeny is the object of reproach here on earth and loses the world beyond. No (legal) progeny are begotten here by another man or in another man’s wife; nor is a second husband ever prescribed for virtuous women. **A woman who abandons her own inferior (caste birth) husband and lives with a superior (caste birth) man becomes an object of reproach in this world; she is said to be ‘previously had by another man’. A woman who is unfaithful to her husband is an object of reproach in this world; (then) she is reborn in the womb of a jackal and is tormented by the diseases born of her evil.” **

Manusmrti 5:147-164.

Wow,

You were trying to write something from manusamriti and also at the same time trying to contradict it. This is the sample of how the woemn are treated in Hinduism… Want more, I’ll post more soon. And talk about Hinduism only don’t drag the topic of Pakistan.

If you say women are uplifted in Hinduism, okay, I ask you to post some good verses to show this claim. I’ll post what I know

Lahore,

You are reading between the lines. Manusmriti is a set of laws which are very written 2000 years ago. It is similar to Quran. The thing is It is never claimed to be the only ultimate reference book for Hindus. Many muslims keep on searching a “Hindu quran” Which does not exist. Manu’s work was path breaking comparing the situations at that point of time. It brought some order to the society. His laws are strict and they were as per the needs of the time. This is similar to the many laws that Quran has. The Quran laws were framed for Arabs 1400 years ago, suitable for that geographical location at that point of time. Prophet’s revelations brought much order to the otherwise barbaric and sadistic Arabic society.
Also, if you read the rules for men in Manusmriti, you will find that they did not have a rosy time either…

6.21 He may subsist on flowers, roots, and fruit alone, which have been ripened by time and have fallen spontaneously, following the rule of the vikhanas.

6.22 Let him either roll about on the ground, or stand during the day on tiptoe, let him alternately stand and sit down; going at the savanas to water in the forest.
