The Hindu Marriage Act is a law enacted by the Indian Parliament in 1955 as part of the Hindu Code Bills. Three other important acts were also enacted during this time: the Hindu Succession Act (1956), the Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act (1956), and the Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act (1956). All of these acts were meant to modernize the Hindu legal tradition.
