Modern Hindu Law, 1st Edn.,

The 1st Edition of Modern Hindu Law presents a clear, analytical, and up-to-date study of Hindu personal law in India, reflecting the significant transformation of this legal system through legislation and judicial interpretation. Designed for students, academicians, and legal practitioners, the book contextualizes classical Hindu law principles within the framework of modern statutes and constitutional mandates. The work comprehensively covers key areas such as marriage and divorce, adoption and maintenance, guardianship, joint family and coparcenary, partition, succession, inheritance, and women’s property rights. Special emphasis is placed on how statutory enactments like the Hindu Marriage Act, Hindu Succession Act, and Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act have reshaped traditional doctrines to align with principles of equality, justice, and social welfare. What distinguishes this book is its modern and analytical approach, focusing on recent Supreme Court and High Court decisions that have redefined the scope of Hindu law. The content is structured in a reader-friendly manner, making complex legal developments accessible without sacrificing doctrinal depth. The USP of this book lies in its contemporary perspective, offering readers a cohesive understanding of Hindu law as it operates today rather than as a purely historical system. It is particularly valuable for academic study, competitive examinations, and practical legal reference.
