Law is too often perceived solely as state-based rules and
institutions that provide a rational alternative to religious rites
and ancestral customs. The Spirit of Hindu Law uses the Hindu legal
tradition as a heuristic tool to question this view and reveal the
close linkage between law and religion. Emphasizing the household,
the family, and everyday relationships as additional social
locations of law, it contends that law itself can be understood as
a theology of ordinary life. An introduction to traditional Hindu
law and jurisprudence, this book is structured around key legal
concepts such as the sources of law and authority, the laws of
persons and things, procedure, punishment and legal practice. It
combines investigation of key themes from Sanskrit legal texts with
discussion of Hindu theology and ethics, as well as thorough
examination of broader comparative issues in law and religion.
