Now talk about status.Why we forget Manu Simriti, Tulsi Dass comment and also treating woman as a property in the Hindu Religion. What is Kanya Daan . As per Manu Simriti "girl is a property of a father and he is to donate it to man as wife and there after she is property of her husband" In islam woman have right in the property of the father(Duktari) but in hindu religion no such right.Let us not forgat the tradition of Satti in Hindu Society. Today what the Hindu Woman has got i9s not by virtue of the "Pro Woman Hindu Religion" but due to progressive Hindu Personal law which are at many point anti Hindu.
