Description

Marriage of Hindu Widows - Gyan Books

About The Book: Marriage of Hindu Widows by Ishvarchandra Vidyasagar is a pioneering 19th-century social reform treatise advocating the legal and moral right of Hindu widows to remarry. Drawing on Vedic and Dharmashastra sources, Vidyasagar systematically refutes orthodox objections—caste pollution, scriptural prohibitions, and economic burden—demonstrating that widow remarriage aligns with ancient Hindu precedent and public welfare. He highlights the suffering of child brides turned destitute widows and argues that remarriage restores dignity, secures property rights, and strengthens family structures. Vidyasagar’s reasoned appeals and petitions to British India culminated in the Hindu Widows’ Remarriage Act of 1856, marking a milestone in Indian women’s rights and social justice.
