When could a woman divorce her husband?
Parliament passed the Matrimonial Causes Act of 1857, a watershed law that allowed women to file for divorce for the first time (though their burden of proof was still higher than men’s), to initiate legal contracts, and to keep possession of her own earnings and inheritances, just as a single woman would.
Can a woman have two husbands in Hinduism?
While both women and men can keep 2 husbands and wives respectively, they may not do so as it is illegal in India for Hindu men to have more than one wife and similarly for Hindu women to have more than one husband living at the same time. My parents and wife cannot stand each other due to conflicting nature.
What is not allowed in Hinduism?
The majority of Hindus are lacto-vegetarian (avoiding meat and eggs), although some may eat lamb, chicken or fish. Beef is always avoided because the cow is considered a holy animal, but dairy products are eaten. Animal-derived fats such as lard and dripping are not permitted.
