For the first time in the country’s history, a public awareness campaign about the Hindu marriage law in Sindh has been launched through a vibrant theater performance. This innovative approach combines cultural dances, traditional songs, and engaging stories to both entertain and inform the public.
The rhythmic beat of drums accompanied by cultural dances and traditional songs sets the stage for a captivating street theater performance in a village in Hyderabad. This unique performance aims to educate the community about the Hindu marriage law in Sindh.
A group of talented artists travels to various cities and villages, presenting a blend of entertainment and education. Their performances have piqued the interest of both men and women from the Hindu community, who are keen to understand the nuances of the law through these compelling narratives.
The Sindh Hindu Marriage Act of 2018 marks a significant milestone, as it mandates the registration of Hindu marriages in Sindh for the first time. Additionally, the Act grants Hindu women the right to a second marriage and inheritance of property. However, due to a lack of awareness within the community and complications in the registration process for Pandits, the implementation of this law has been slow.
This theater campaign represents a crucial step towards bridging the awareness gap and ensuring that the Hindu community in Sindh fully understands and benefits from their legal rights under the new marriage law.
Stay tuned for more updates on this impactful initiative.
