Hindu women advocate for change to Hindu Marriage Act

HINDU women are advocating for an amendment to the Hindu Marriage Act and its corresponding marriage forms so that wives can state their occupation.

The Hindu Women’s Organisation and their attorney Om Lalla met with Minister in the Ministry of the Attorney General Renuka Sagramsingh on March 7, on the eve of International Women’s Day to address their concerns.

Lalla described the meeting as fruitful and said it was one of many on the issue.
