MARRIAGE AND FAMILY IN RELIGION
TEACHINGS FROM THE BIBLE, QUR'AN, AND VEDAS (Family Ethics)
Marriage and family life stand at the heart of every culture and faith tradition. Marriage and Family in Religion explores how three of the world's major scriptures-the Bible, Qur'an, and Vedas-define, guide, and sanctify family relationships. Through clear comparisons and historical insight, this book reveals how religion shapes love, duty, gender roles, and the moral foundations of family life across generations.
From the sacred vows of Christian marriage to the ethical framework of Islamic family law and the spiritual ideals of Hindu domestic life, this book examines how faith traditions view the union of partners, the upbringing of children, and the responsibilities that hold families together.
