Pakhi and Hindu law

Hi guys. Here are 2 questions. 1) What does Hinduism say about extra marital affair/adultery/woman going after a married man? Pakhi has been shown to sit in Hindu rituals, why is there no guilt? She took the Hindu wedding vows with Samrat, are there no repercussions for breaking them?

2) Virat’s vows to Sai during marriage, which one is heavier, his promise to PP or the religious vows to Sai? Are there no repercussions for not fulfilling your wife’s needs (love and more)?

In Islam, adultery is one of the biggest abominations (Major Sins) and there are punishments set for adulterers.

Sanskari didi is sanskiri only when it favors her. 😆

Adultery is a consensual physical correlation between two individuals who are not married to each other. According to Hinduism dictionary,” Adultery is sexual intercourse between a married man and a woman not his wife, or between a married woman and a man not her husband.” In Hindu shastras, adultery is considered as a serious breach of dharma. Hinduism considers marriage as a sacred and a highly sanctified relationship.

Hinduism does not support adulterous liaisons and it is considered a moral sin. Individuals who get involved in treacherous or illegitimate relationships have to face a lot of public disrespect and societal humiliation, generally in the rustic regions, where the social order is still conventional. Particularly in case of women, the consequences of adultery are much worse and extra marital affairs involving married women are rarely overlooked or pardoned. According to Hinduism, marriage is a sacrosanct association, which is not limited to one birth and extends over several lives. It is necessary to maintain the purity of marriage and to uphold matrimonial vows. Breaking the consecrated promise and the union of marriage recognized with deities as witness is a profanity and an appalling karma.

Adultery is being severely dealt with in ancient Hindu law books for ethical as well as social reasons. Adultery may lead to perplexity of castes, decrepitude of family standards and societal disarray.

According to Vishnu Purana 3.11, “A man should not think incontinently of another’s wife, much less address her to that end; for such a man will be reborn in future life as a creeping insect. He who commits adultery is punished here and hereafter; for his days in this world are cut short, and when dead he falls into hell.”

Adultery has never been accepted in Hinduism and even today the Indian society treats it as a wrongful deed.

@bold that is amazing, so even thinking of another man’s wife with *love* is immoral.

Tsk tsk Virat.

Virat's Vachans during Saptapadi (Vows during marriage) to Sai will ALWAYS weigh heavier than the vaada given to Pakhi.

Same with Sai's Vachans during Saptapadi to Virat will ALWAYS weigh heavier than vaada given to Caterpillar.

Well that's what written in scriptures. I won't say it's not right but with change of time, things also changes. You can't judge a man basis on something which was prevailing some 6000-7000 years ago.

Adultery is a sin even in our scripture and by law too. According to Hindu marriage Act, you need to divorce the former to marry the latter.

But weighing someone basis on something which can only be possible in 6000-7000 years ago, isn't ethical.

Bold : virat valued his marriage vows more than pakhi's vaada , he had taken supported 4 sai many times. Virat never fanatise or was romantically involved with pakhi after his marriage with sai . Hindu marriage vows don't say immediately fall 4 ur wife , it says stay true to ur spouse which virat had always been to sai.

Sai values pulkit kasam( it was not needed ) more than her marriage vows given to virat .

Good topic good thoughts good points but Pakhi has support both from her maternal side and her in-laws family they all support and encourage their little princess as for them it is respect for the elder babhi to her devar.......

The reason she never thought about it.....the reason she has no time to think about Samrat...what if Virat had gone missing they would have supported Sai the same way....

Whey Pakhi never gives so much love to her chote devar mohit but only Virat and others turn blind consciously only because they know the real reason and it is a way to make youngers close their mouth and eyes to not judge the elders.....

I'm agreeing about your EMA with Virat you also just agree with us as it is something which keeps happening in Chavan family.

Thanks! The question was specifically about the said characters and Hindu law since the show portrays Hinduism as their practicing religion. Your opinion is subjective.

What does Hinduism say about taking those vows but telling the bride, “I can never be a husband to you.” Isn’t there a conflict? Enlighten me because I don’t know about the religion / law.
