One of the earliest and most well-known legal treatises used by Hindus is called Manusmriti. It covers a wide range of subjects, including the creation of the world, marriage, and sacraments like "Upanayana." It also discusses the obligations of men and women in relation to various social strata and life stages, as well as penitential rites for breaking moral laws. In either ancient or medieval Hindu society, scholars do not believe that the Manusmriti was ever used as a legal code. According to David Buxbaum, "in the view of the best modern orientalists, it [Manusmriti] does not, in its entirety, represent a body of laws ever truly enforced in Hindustan. It is essentially an idealized depiction of what, in the eyes of a Brahmin, ought to be the law. It is one of the most well-known works in the Brahminical tradition that describes the laws and moral principles that must be followed in order to uphold dharma. One of the most authoritative texts in the tradition, it is regarded as such. The Manusmriti, also known as "The Laws of Manu." In this research, we attempt to analyze the caste system of Manusmriti as well as the experiences and roles of women in Manusmriti.
