Hindu law  

Définition

  • Hindu law, like African law and Islamic law, is a family of laws rather than a single body of law. A “family of laws,” to borrow from Werner Menski, has an essential conceptual core, but the case of Hindu law, even that core has remained so flexible, diffuse, and internally diverse that it is best to describe it as “unity in diversity” rather than imagine a fixed, unified Hindu system.
