Re: Respect of Women

@Arleitter

The manu smriti doesnt degrade women… Something that has preset our order and Hindus can be proud of that.

The Manu Smriti awards women property rights… It is followed by Hindus…

It denouces dowry and says “that a father who gives dowry is selling his daughter”

provision for widow marriage… It is followed and practised.

Virtual absence of multiple marriages by a man
i.e. a married man could only marryn again if his wife for 7 yrs did not have any heir, that also only with the permission of his present wife

And several passages which praise women…like “the house in which a single women;s tear is shed is doomed”

All the examples you have given are of the Indian civil law like Widow Remarriage Act of 1856, anti-dowry act of 1961, Hindu Marriage Act (1951 amendment banning polygamy) etc.

Can you show me specifically where Hindus follow Manusmriti (where either Civil Law is not there or in place of Civil Law) ?

Going back to the original debate, I would like you to show how Manusmriti is followed by Hindus **similar to Sharia being followed by Muslims **?
