Re: Love match - What’s the best way of breaking it to the parents?
nah, in india personal law like marriage, divorce, inheritance, adoption etc is separated by religion (really lame, but if you know india, you know how much paperwork is involved in doing any fking thing). common law is only for other issues. out of these, christian law has always been fairly up to date as it was primarily meant for anglo-indians, hindu law was reformed and modernized in the 50s to be on par with christian law, muslim personal law is still pretty much what it was in the 1800s. afaik, even dowry is legal for muslims in india as per the law of the land. this when islam prohibits it, and everyone else has it illegal in india. thats how messed up things are.
i’m guessing you flunked your social studies classes pal.
Apparently so !! It’s certainly only common civil code and muslim personal code that gets talked about. I assumed those were the only ones that existed. What do sikhs/jains use?
