Modern Hindu Law (Codified & Uncodified) by Dr. Paras Diwan is a leading textbook on Hindu personal law, widely prescribed for LL.B. and B.A. LL.B. students and respected as a reference by academics and practitioners. It presents both the codified and uncodified branches of Hindu law in a clear, systematic manner, supported by statutory provisions and landmark judgments.
The book covers the sources and schools of Hindu law, marriage and divorce, adoption and maintenance, minority and guardianship, joint family and coparcenary, partition, and succession. It explains the major codifying statutes alongside the traditional principles that continue to apply, helping students appreciate how classical and modern Hindu law fit together.
The 2026 edition covers the four codifying statutes in full: the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 (marriage, restitution, judicial separation, divorce and its evolving grounds), the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 with the 2005 amendment and Vineeta Sharma v. Rajendra Sharma settling daughters' coparcenary rights, the Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act, and the Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act.
Uncodified areas, joint family, coparcenary property, partition, and religious endowments receive the same landmark-case treatment, making this equally suitable for Family Law-I papers and judicial services mains.
