About The Book: This book explores the Principles of Hindu Law, encompassing proprietary rights, inheritance, stridhan (woman's separate property), partition, marriage, adoption, minority, slavery, and contracts. It categorizes property into real, personal, ancestral, and acquired domains, prioritizing practical utility over theoretical discussions on the origins of property rights in Hindu beliefs. The book accentuates the challenge of identifying relevant legal principles in specific cases, underscoring the imperative for a more precise reference work to guide judicial decisions.
