Abstract:

Hindu marriage not only has been a union of two families but also considered as one of the sanskars. However, it is observed that though the customs and traditions of ancient India remained static till modern times, there were no legal systems except a few molded and altered customs and usages till the emergence of British rule. European civilization also impacted on the Indians after the establishment of the British rule in India and create a few ripples on the otherwise calm sea of Hindu Law. This paper discusses about the concept of Hindu marriage since the ancient times and further elaborate important amendments took place in Hindu Marriage Laws after independence.
