Abstract

Manu Kanunnamesi (Manusmrti) değişik şartlar altında ve farklı zamanlarda dini hükümlerin nasıl uygulanacağı konusunda Hindulara rehberlik eden kutsal bir metindir. Manzum olan bu eser, Hindu dini ve sosyal yaşamıyla alakalı bilimsel tartışmalarda temel referans kaynağıdır. Diğer dinlerde olduğu gibi Hinduizm’de de evlilik dinsel bir tören, aile de dini bir kurumdur. Hinduizm’de, uygun bir kızla nikâhlanma ve aile reisliği, insan hayatındaki dört dönemden (ashrama-dharma) birisi kabul edilmektedir. Bununla ilgili olarak dindar bir erkeğin, evlenilecek kızın ve ailelerin yerine getirmesi gereken bir takım hususlar Manu Kanunnamesinde izah edilmiştir. Bu makalede Manu Kanunnamesi’ne göre evliliğin amacı, şartları, türleri gibi konular ele alınacaktır.

Keywords
