Is Devdasi System coming back in India with the changed form
Posted: 15 Nov 2022
The Devadasi system was abolished on 9 October 1947, through the Madras Devadasi Act. The law gave Devadasis the legal right to marry. It also made it illegal to dedicate girls to Indian temples. In the year of Indian independence, the Madras Devadasi (Prevention of Dedication) Act outlawed dedication in the southern Madras Presidency.
The Devadasi system was formally outlawed in all of India in 1988, the Brahmakumaris are up to establish more or less the same rituals in its so called "royal" and "divine" forms.
