试析摩奴法典中的婚姻制度

On Marriage System in Manavadharmasastra

摩奴法典是古印度一部集大成的经典,法典中具体阐释了种姓婚姻制度。全书中种姓等级思想贯穿整部法典,一切伦理的、道德的、宗教的条文,都没有逾越这一种姓婚姻的界定。由此而引发产生的“寡妇不得再嫁制度”和“童婚”导致了在婚姻价值观上极端倾向性。在夫妻关系中,法典提出了许多积极的、正面的法理精神。

Manavadharmasastra was an agglomeration of ancient Indian scriptures,which made a con-crete explanation of the marriage law in the caste system.The caste ideology ran through the whole code,and all the terms including ethic,moral and religious did not go beyond the limits of it.Thereby it pro-duced a marriage law in which widow women were not allowed to remarry and child girls were allowed to marry that led to go to extremes of marriage values and attitudes.In the same code,about the spouse rela-tionship,it stated legal principles in a positive way.
