  • Hindu marriage act 1995-

    The main purpose of the act was to amend and codify the law relating to marriage among Hindus     and others. Besides amending and codifying Sastrik law, it introduced separation and divorce, which did not exist in Sastrik Law. This enactment brought uniformity of law for all sections of Hindus. In India there are religion-specific civil codes that separately govern adherents of certain other religions. Both the bridegroom and the bride should be of the Hindu religion at the time of marriage. Either party is already married. The Act expressively prohibits polygamy. A marriage can only be solemnized if neither party has a living spouse at the time of marriage.This applies to the people of age 18 and above.
