Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letters on Important Subjects: Contributed to the "Madras Athenæum," Dear Sir. - Much has been said and written, and as much and perhaps more is still anticipated and intended, regarding the long agitated but still unsettled question of the re-marriage of Hindu widows. Averse as Natives generally are to the introduction of anything novel, and especially when the thing introduced involves such a material alteration of their social Laws as the re-marriage of their widows, a measure amounting, in their view, almost to a wanton violation of their sacred principles of usage, any attempt to reconcile them to this novel step, however well planned, must prove futile in the end. It is therefore nothing but a pedantic display of learning in our Indian reformers to attempt to draw ingenious conclusions from Manu and other authorities contrived and shaped so as to favor their views whether for or against the measure. The passage relied on by one section of the discussionists as authorising the conclusion that re-marriage is permitted or that girls can be married after they attain their puberty, is shown by the other to mean as conclusively quite the reverse; and seeing that such a disparity of opinion is held and maintained by men of note and learning, the discussion will no doubt end in nought, if not in evil, to the whole community concerned.
