PREAMBLE

The Marriage Contract is an agreement between the husband and the wife for the formalization and for the termination of Marriage. The agreement is an attempt to reinforce the underlying significance of the sanctity of marriage by highlighting the roles and duties of both parties, through the couple assuring themselves that the document can be relief upon in times of misunderstanding and through reducing external interferences.

The contract is designed not to complicate an already deteriorating situation in life but to facilitate efficient and swift operation of provision made by Hindu Law.

CONCEPT OF MARRIAGE

Marriage is a provision by Divinity to unite a man and a woman for purposes of procreation and satisfaction of our innate desires. It makes permissible what would be prohibited in other circumstances and maintain the nobility of descendants. It is an institution in which two personalities, Attitudes, mindsets and souls decide to live together and face all challenges of life in a manner that it pleasant to Almighty God.

CONCEPT OF DIVORCE

Ideally, a man and a woman, willing to adapt to each other’s likes and dislikes, preferences, attitudes, etc. should be capable of living together until death do them apart. However, in the real world it is not so. Cognisant of the diversity in peoples’ nature, Divinity has provided a break clause for such a partnership and labeled it DIVORCE. This break clause, however, cannot be exercised easily and it remains the single permissible thing that Almighty God detests most.
