Description

This scholarly work examines the first eight Sanskrit law codes written in India between 600 BCE and 570 ACE, offering a comprehensive analysis of how early legal systems shaped women's rights and social status. The book critically analyses foundational texts including the Dharma S tras, the Artha stra, the Manu Sm iti, the Y j yavalkya Sm iti, and N rada Sm iti to explore the legal, religious and ethical customs codified during this transformative period. It investigates how early laws systematised patriarchy and the varna caste system across South Asia, examining discourses on justice, conduct, virtues and duties as they applied to women. By tracing the evolution of patrimonial laws and male-centred legal frameworks, this Routledge publication provides essential insights into how ancient legal codes institutionalised gender hierarchies and influenced the social and political life of women in early India, making it invaluable for scholars of law, history, gender studies and South Asian civilisation.
