This I absolutely agree with! Hindu law is undeniably the sexist of all laws. If your hubby-to-be takes you to India, you will have to follow the culture and all customs. If any problems arise, know that Hindu law is part of their land constitution and since your husband is a Hindu, this will apply to you. This is very serious! Don’t move to India in any case if you do marry him.

there is nothing particularly sexist about Hindu personal law in the indian constitution. drafted by socialists and nehruvians, one may even say it is better than the corresponding muslim personal law from the indian constitution (drafted to appease the religious right) - the former makes it polygamy illegal, and divorce by the man more difficult than the latter. there is a big push from educated indian muslims for a unified civil code instead of the split personal laws, and to outlaw triple talaq.

not that this has much to do with in-law issues..
