Sources Of Hindu Law




Prerna Kumari, New Law College, Pune

ABSTRACT:

Hindu law is based on a vast and massive body of literature, spanning from the "Shruti," "Smriti," "Sadachar," and "Swatah Prajna" to more recent precedent-setting and legislative frameworks. The ability of this enormous institution to adapt and make reasonable changes in order to meet changing needs without becoming a rigid structure that prevents any kind of modification can be attributed to its flexibility. The distinctive quality of Hindu law is what makes it such a dynamic organized system. The current study seeks to adopt a comprehensive perspective of the "shruti," "smriti," and "sadachar" as the three main sources of Hindu law, with all of the necessary elements contained in them, in order to foster a deeper knowledge of its synthesis, evolution, and development.

Keywords: Rita, Rina, Sadachar, Riti, Upanishad, and Dharma.
