Removing Echo Saheb's confusion about why "talaaq" has no corresponding term in Hinduism

"Notice the language on radio, tv, newspapers that despite the snskritisation almost all the words for Law are still arabie/farsi...How can you ever have the equivalent of Talaaque when you had no clue..you just "left" ( chhore diyaa)"

Miyan Echo Jaan Saheb,

Let us put it straight. Arabian imperialists ruled the land of hind for 800 years, turning them into dhimmis replacing their laws and customs with the dhimmi laws.

First regarding Talaaq, in hindu dharma shastra there is nothing similar to the so called "talaaq" as a contractual cohabitation. Hindus have 'vivah karma' or obligatory activity of marriage as per the dharma-shastras. Vivah and Nikaah are entirely distinct concepts. Vivah is based upon intense spirituality where a man and woman come together as a matter of "dharma" and enter into the Grihasta-Ashrama part of their lives. There is no "contractual" element that can be broken up by "Talaaq" .

Hindus have NO concept of Talaaq because marriages are forever in one's life. The most one can do is to "leave" but it cannot be so called annulled by "talaaq". So, your query is based upon a mis-conception about hindu dharma shastra based marriages.

Secondly, regarding preponderance of Arabic or Persian terminology in Indian legal parlance. Let me remind you that before British came and established their Civil and criminal Laws Qazi sahibs of every conquered land ruled by the muslim nawabs or moghuls kings used to adjudicate over most important and legal matters of the land especially criminal , revenue and civil disputes involving property and land.....

Gram and local panchayats existed but were only decided small time civil matters and every thing serious criminal or civil had to be finally decided by Qazi saheb as per shariah and the momeen laws. The legal language of the courts in darbars was Persian or Arabic (not even urdu). But this was until British came and annulled Shariah by replacing them with British Civil and Criminal Laws and also replaced Persian/Arabic as language of choice in the courts. Now, India after independence became a secular society where Dharma-shastric or Shariah laws do not hold. Hindus have also modified the current democratic liberal laws to suit the modern hindu thought. so, we have as a result a set of laws that were imposed by muslims , annulled by Briths and now modified by modern day hindus. Although certain Persian/Arabic words remain in the court parlance, yet their meanings are completely DIFFERENT from what they meant during the period of dhimmitude.

Now , Hindus after 800 years as dhimmitude have arrived at a liberal notion of "Justice" in its modern jurisprudence using their own wisdom as legislated through numerous Acts of the Parliament. Hindus have been in a great advantageous position regarding deciding their laws using common sense for common living amongst people of different religions.

Unfortunately, those muslims from Pakistan who have pawned off their wisdom to Quran and who still look up to the Qazis and Khalifas has no idea of the advantageous position that modern day hindus are in compared to the momeens of the Pakistani land.
