The Hindu Marriage Act

Divorce remains sticking point in Hindu Marriage Act | The Express Tribune

“We will never allow the government to have a divorce clause in the Hindu Marriage Act,” said Chief Patron Pakistan Hindu Council Ramesh Kumar. “We have no concept of divorce in our religion,” said Kumar, a member in the National Assembly on a reserved seat for non-Muslims. Kumar has been campaigning for the issue for many years. In 2007 he filed a petition in the Supreme Court asking for help to solve the problem without further delay.

Being a Hindu, and an India, I’m somewhat perplexed by this stance. It’s idiotic to believe Hindu’s don’t get a divorce, or will never want to. Does anyone, in Pakistan, know why this stance is being taken?

Re: The Hindu Marriage Act

I guess when you mix up religion with state governance.. every religionist starts demanding the state to follow his understanding of religion..

In such societies it's not necessary that only the majority makes such demands..

The best solution is not to make hindu marriage, muslim marriage, christian marriage, black goat cult marriage acts in a society on the basis of religion.. but these laws should be made to protect the rights of people without bringing religious orientations..

I agree with the general sentiment in this thread that theocracies are bad and Pakistanis sometime come up with the craziest theories.

Re: The Hindu Marriage Act

It is a fact that in Hindu scriptures there is no concept of divorce in marriages. However, with the change of time and situations amendments, alterations and revisions are always welcomed in any system. The only thing that is constantan in the universe is ‘change’. There were several vogue traditions that were prevalent in Hindus like ‘Sati’ and child marriage that are abolished by the society. In India, a majority Hindu nations, divorces are very prevalent so why it should be denied anywhere else?
