Indian Divorce

Divorces carried out in India are generally a lot more complex than, for instance, American or Muslim divorces. This is mainly because they need to account for all the different religions that are present in India, despite the fact that 80.5% of the Indian population are Hindu. India is renowned for keeping all of its religions equal, regardless of their numbers.

To simplify the legislation for divorce in India, each religion follows a specific divorce act. Hindus follow the Hindu divorce act of 1955, Christians follow the Indian divorce act of 1869, Muslims follow the dissolution of Muslim marriages act of 1939, Parsi follow the Parsi marriage and divorce act of 1936 and those in civil marriage follow the special marriage act of 1956.

Indian Law

Indian law as separate legislation is also taken into account for any divorce being processed in the country. It recognizes five main states of marriage as legitimate grounds for divorce. These states are:

Adultery: Cheating on a spouse is a reasonable ground for divorce in India, although men tend to be treated more nicely in an Indian court of law than women if they are accused of adultery.

Impotence: An inability or refusal to consummate a marriage is a legitimate ground for divorce in India. If one party enters a marriage without knowing that their spouse is sterile, this is also grounds for divorce.

Desertion: If couples can prove that they have not lived together for at least three years then desertion can be used as a ground for divorce. However, they must also be able to prove that they are not planning to continue living together after the divorce has been finalized.

Chronic Disease: Whether mental or physical, chronic disease is a legitimate reason for divorcing someone in India. Unlike several other religions and countries, ‘chronic disease’ also encompasses sexuality transmitted disease.

Cruelty: Whether physical abuse, emotional blackmail, or anything in between, a divorce can be sought in India for cruelty. However, the lines that separate cruelty and a safe marriage are different between men and women, just as they are for adultery.

In India it is often seen as shameful to divorce and once a woman returns to her biological family she is often not very well respected. Life for divorced people (both men and women, but especially women) is hard, because Indian society is not accepting. For this reason the Indian government may grant a divorced woman financial help, or assistance in finding a place to live.

History of Indian Divorce

At one point in history divorce didn’t even exist in the Hindu faith. This meant that a marriage breakdown was handled simply by separation or desertion and was never finalized legally: the couple would remain married until death. Men were allowed to leave their wives at this time, but a woman could never leave her husband and had to live in the marital home.

Before 1997, Christian women living in India would also have to prove in a court of law that their husband had committed adultery, or treated them cruelly in order to be divorced from them.

How to measure her ring size

How to measure her ring size?

Typically, most men do not know the ring sizes of their significant others. Therefore, it is necessary to devise a method that enables us males to determine the correct ring size without her noticing.

One way to accomplish this feat is by making a soap copy of one of her rings. This is done by taking a ring and gently pressing it into a bar of soap. A jeweler is able to measure the ring size with this piece of information and hereby extract what you are looking for without arousing suspicion. If you have access to at least one of her rings anyway, you will be able to take it to a jeweler anyway in most cases.

If you feel adventurous, you may take one of her rings, stick it onto your finger and measure where it stops on yours. This method is not exactly the most accurate yet most jeweler will be able to help if you communicate this piece of information to them. Although we do not recommend this, it may be your last resort and should only be used if all other methods fail.

How to choose a Jeweller

Most engagement rings are still being purchased the traditional way through a jeweller. Although various alternatives exist, the vast majority of people feels most comfortable dealing with a person rather than over the Internet. In case you are about to purchase a engagement ring at a jeweller, we have compiled a few tips and tricks that may help you with your choice.

First, it is important to learn a few facts about the industry itself. Most of the business is generated prior to Valentine’s Day and Christmas. Most jewellers adjust their prices accordingly. We strongly advise that you do your jewellery shopping off-season. This way, there is more room for haggling and price discussions. If possible, buy your jewellery in summer. The summer months are traditionally the time where jewellers experience a period of slow business.

Did you ever wonder why most exclusive jewellers are located on the high Street? The answer is simple: they get away with this by charging premium prices. Your best way to avoid these premium prices is to take your business to jewellers that do not have their premises in high rent areas such as the high Street.

CHECKLIST

  • Has the jeweller been in business and operational for a long time?
  • Do the diamonds you intend to purchase come with a certificate of authencity issues by one of the major grading agencies?
  • Is the staff at the jeweller both knowledgable and able to explain you the jewellry in plain terms?
  • What warranties are being offered with the products the jeweller sells? Inspect them very carefully!
  • Is the jeweler part of a trade assocation?

History of Wedding Rings

The Wedding Ring History of the Symbol of Love

Every year, thousands of couples around the world exchange wedding rings but many of them do not know the history behind this meaningful act or the history of the ring itself, probably the oldest wedding tradition out there. The wedding ring of course, as they know it, symbolizes eternal love, devotion, and loyalty of the marriage union. But when did people start wearing it? And why is it worn on the left hand?

The history of the wedding ring goes back 5,000 years ago. The wedding ring tradition was first originated by the Egyptians who believed that the ring’s circular shape symbolized perfection and eternity. The hole in the center of the ring is said to be the symbol of the gateway to things and events, both known and unknown. This belief is recorded in the Egyptian hieroglyphics, which were found on the walls of Egyptian tombs and translated by archaeologists.

The first wedding ring was probably made of hemp, which would need to be changed often. Eventually they started using a more lasting material, such as leather, bone, ivory, and finally metal, to craft the ring. Despite the less-than-perfect shape of the ring, being crude and lumpy, the sentiment of eternal love and commitment remained the same.

The Egyptians wore the ring on the fourth finger of the left hand because it was believed that the vein of that finger is directly connected to the heart. The Greeks continued this tradition when they conquered Egypt in 332 B.C. and later passed it onto the Romans who called it the ‘vena amoris’, meaning ‘the vein of love’. Today, this tradition is practiced in most parts of the world simply because most people are right handed. Certain countries and groups, however, have a different tradition. The Roman Catholics in Europe wear the ring on the right hand, while the Jewish traditionally wear their wedding rings on the index finger. The thumb also briefly challenged the common norm during the 17th century when wedding rings were typically worn on this finger. This practice did not last and it was back to the fourth-finger tradition pretty quickly.

Despite the long history of the wedding rings, men only began to wear them in the last century. Before 1940, only about 15 per cent of couples exchanged wedding rings. However, this percentage quickly rose to 60% during the World War II, when many young men left behind their wives, fiances, and girlfriends, and later to 70 per cent during the Korean War. Today, almost every couple has a double-ring ceremony and men have even started wearing engagement rings!

History of the Engagement Ring

The appeal of the engagement ring is universal. It is taken, as a token of love and carries with it lots of promises. Have you ever tried to know the history of this precious ring? If you have not then read this article to know the history of the engagement ring which will help you to value it even more.

The early Greeks and Romans gave the engagement rings to the woman that they wished to marry in future. However the sole credit goes to the Greek as pioneers to start the trend to wear the ring in the fourth finger of the left hand because they believed that particular finger of the left hand has a vein which is directly connected to the heart. The rings are usually round in shapes to indicate eternity, a complete love circle.

Previously, the engagement ring did not only show a connection between a man and women but also the properties or lands that each possessed. Presumably the first engagement rings were made of plants or other discarded things then the use of stones in the ring came into use. The gems stone is the first material that was incorporated in making of a ring after the rings made of plants and leathers, for hundred of years diamonds were rare and expensive to use in the engagement rings.

It was only women who received engagement rings before but after the world war 2, the scenario changed and even men started to receive engagement ring as they had to stay away from their loved ones for long time and the ring was the only remembrance of their love.

The first ever diamond engagement ring was presented to women by her man in the 15th century and slowly the appeal increased as diamond rings were considered to the symbol of purity and trust which still managed to keep up its appeal in to day’s time.

However, whether an engagement ring is a diamond ring or not, the ring in no way looses its importance and value. The fashion of engagement ring has its long history but still has not lost its appeal and there is no possibility that it is going to in next hundreds of years.

Historia de los Anillos de Matrimonio

Los Anillos de Matrimonio – Historia del Símbolo del Amor

Cada año, miles de parejas en el mundo entero intercambian sus anillos de matrimonio pero muchos de ellos no conocen la historia detrás de este acto significativo o la historia del anillo en sí, probablemente esta es la tradición de matrimonio más antigua. El matrimonio desde luego, como ellos conocen, simboliza el amor eterno, la devoción, y la lealtad de la unión de matrimonio. ¿Pero cuándo la gente comenzó a usarlo? ¿Y por qué es llevado en la mano izquierda?

La historia de los anillos de matrimonio viene desde hace 5,000 años. La tradición de los anillos de matrimonio fue originada primero por los egipcios que creyeron que la forma circular del anillo simbolizaba la perfección y la eternidad. El agujero en el centro del anillo se dice que es el símbolo de la entrada de cosas y acontecimientos, tanto lo conocido como lo desconocido. Esta creencia es registrada en jeroglíficos egipcios, que fueron encontrados sobre las paredes de tumbas egipcias y traducidas por arqueólogos.

El primer anillo de compromiso probablemente fue hecho de cáñamo, que tendría que ser cambiado a menudo. Eventualmente ellos comenzaron a usar un material más durable, como el cuero, el hueso, el marfil, y finalmente el metal para trabajar el anillo. A pesar de la forma no tan perfecta del anillo, siendo crudo y grumoso, el sentimiento de amor eterno y compromiso siguió el mismo.

Los egipcios llevaron el anillo en el cuarto dedo de la mano izquierda porque se creía que la vena de aquel dedo estaba conectada directamente al corazón. Los Griegos siguieron esta tradición cuando ellos conquistaron Egipto en 332 AC y más tarde fue pasado a los Romanos que lo llamaron el vena los amoris, que quiere decir la vena de amor. Hoy, esta tradición es practicada en la mayor parte del mundo simplemente porque la mayoría de la gente es diestra. Ciertos países y grupos, sin embargo, tienen una tradición diferente. Los católicos romanos en Europa llevan el anillo a la derecha, mientras los judíos tradicionalmente llevan el anillo de matrimonio sobre el dedo índice.

A pesar de la larga historia de los anillos de matrimonio, los hombres sólo comenzaron a llevarlos en el siglo pasado. Antes de 1940, aproximadamente sólo el 15 % de parejas intercambió sus anillos. Sin embargo, este porcentaje rápidamente se elevó al 60 % durante la segunda Guerra Mundial, cuando muchos jóvenes dejaron atrás a sus mujeres, novias, y enamoradas, y más tarde se elevó al 70 % durante la guerra coreana. ¡Hoy, casi cada pareja tiene una par de anillos de matrimonio e inclusive los hombres han comenzado a llevar anillos de compromiso!
