Thomson’s Modern Hindu Law by Prof. (Dr.) Rakesh KR. Singh – 1st Edition 2022.

Description

Family law differs from religion to religion. In the last couple of decades Parliamentary Acts and judicial pronouncements have changed Hindu law drastically. The working of the legislative provisions in consonance with society and with religious beliefs, profession and propagation has been a subject of study in reference to both codified and uncodified personal laws. In the backdrop of important judgments relating to the triple talaq case (2019), daughter’s right to ancestral property (2020), decriminalization of adultery (2019) and many others, the legal perspective of family laws needs to be re-examined. Landmark cases provide young researchers and academicians with an opportunity to look at the subject with a new lens. Modern Hindu Law covers major aspects of Hindu law including marriage, divorce, maintenance, adoption, succession, guardianship, joint Hindu family and partition. It will prove useful to students of law, lawyers, researchers, academicians and others who are interested in the subject.
