 abstract = {In 1951, in a heated debate over Hindu law reform in newly independent India, B. R. Ambedkar, who had become the new government’s first law minister, urged his fellow legislators to reform Hindu marriage law in a way that was congruent with the goals of liberty and equality. “If you mean to give liberty—and you cannot deny that liberty in view of the fact that you have placed it in your Constitution and praised the Constitution which guarantees liberty and equality to every citizen,” he argued, “then you cannot allow this institution [of marriage] to stand as it is.”¹},
