While manu discouraged widow remarrige he advocated for a share of property for a married woman who has an extra-marital affair. The norm the world around at that time was death by stoning.

I don’t agree with Manu’s societal directives. I guess it was a feature of its time and Hinduism currently is worse for it.

My interest is the first chapter where he elaborates on the chronology of the universe.
