I gain my support from artha shaastra. What I found is that manusmrti discourages women from getting remarried, which might be because women tend to hold lost relationships for longer time in their minds. However, translation of a particular verse in manusmrti appears to say that although manu discourages personally, he allows remarriage. I personally enjoy stressing on a verse in manusmrti which says that liberty is of highest order in the age of kaliyuga, while adherence to shruti in the satya yuga.

Was divorse permitted in the vedic times. Was there a law of divorse in the hindu society. I don't think so. Pls, kindly clarify PD.
To make my point here. All those who study their own scriptures (any religion) will lead a life of dharma. We see christians who are pure and pious, who follow the Bible, not just in one place but all over the world. They consider Bible to be the word of God and follow it in spirit and letter. Let us not neglect them. So it is with hindus and muslims. Good and bad are found every where.
Pls don't get confused by comparing the west with christian, just because they are the majority. Bible doesnot rule all lands, but secularism and as shishya says adharmic behaviour. Adharma is not taught by any scripture. Even christians believe in virginity to be followed before marriage, no divorse, and no adultary (Bible also teaches holy dharma and so did Jesus Christ).
Indian - when you say, have you forgotten the 2000 year old religion of christianity in India. They are more Indian in culture than the 1000 year history of muslims who still adhere to the Arabian culture. Therefore, pls don't exclude the christians from the word Indian. Speaking about Jesus to be holy and Krishna a unholy, this is not a christian thought nor supported by all hindus. Even christians support the fact that Krishna was yogi, but they don't deny that Jesus Christ was holy. So is the thought of hindus.
Indians are having a good sense of behaviour than any other race, due to their culture, which ever religion they may belong to. Good culture is taught in all religions.

The Vedic religion is pretty much just a set of principles.
Indians have taken the original Vedic religion and turned into a really repulsive thing.
Which is why most young "Hindus" in India are not religious. |

^ I meant "stinking" literally. Not in a "bad word" kind of way. Those orange tikkas which they put on your forehead in temples stink really bad sometimes. At least the temples in India.
I was just trying to demonstrate how Hinduism has been turned into something so revolting. |

| ^ But I never admitted anything. 'Stinking' is a legitimate English language word. And Like I said, I never meant for it to be taken as a bad word. |
