...Christians have similar practice....
the practice of christianity in early times sadly did not offer the facility of divorce, especially to the wife... indeed, divorce was/is technically considered
sin in catholicism.
and Hinduism don't give a unilateral right to Divorce his wife...
there is no formal facility of divorce in hinduism ( the culture )... a wife can simply be abandoned ( hint, hint )... and remarriage of widows or divorcee females is considered sin.
So how wedding practice make that superior
1. freedom delivered to the ladies to choose their husband, without consent of parents or the neighborhood vegetable seller.
2. wedding need not have any parents or relatives present at all... just two witnesses, the bride and groom, the qazi ( local judge )... so five people in total.
3. wedding is a legal registration procedure, technically to be conducted at the simplest level, without band baaja baarat.
4. reasonable economic welfare of wife in case of divorce, fixed during the time of wedding with the consent of the bride.
5. no dowry carried by the bride.
6. yes, divorce is allowed, and can be initiated by the wife.
7. remarriage as a right, even and especially for the lady, with no technical limits on number of marriages.
8. family life can consist of children from spouses' previous marriage.
9. property inheritance ensures just welfare of the females involved.
isn't it easy, practical and just??
edit : in practice however, especially in south asia, so-called muslims adopted pre-islami local practices and claimed as islamic things like forced wedding, "honor killing", even dowry.
will you add anything,
