Explanation :

Hindu culture has long prohibited the remarriage of widows, especially child and teenage widows, to maintain what it deemed family honour and property. All widows were supposed to live a life of penance and sacrifice. The Hindu Widows’ Remarriage Act offered legal protection against the loss of some types of inheritance when a Hindu widow remarried. However, the widow decided to abandon any legacy from her dead husband under the Act. 

Widow Remarriage Association 

• The founder of the Widow Remarriage Association in the 19th century was Vishnu Shastri Pandit.
• He was an active social reformer who founded this association called the Punar Vivah Jak Mandal in the 1850s. The main aim of the association was to encourage widows to get remarried.

Satya Prakash

• Karsandas Mulji, a social reformer and journalist, previously wrote for the Rast Goftar and Stribodh magazines, but readership of these magazines were mostly limited to Parsis. He therefore established Satyaprakash in 1855 with the help of Mangalbhai Naththubhai. He edited it while Rustomji Ranina was the publisher. 
• His articles addressed forward Hindu caste leaders and attacked social and religious customs and practises. Mulji addressed various social issues such as female education, excessive spending in pompous marriages, indecent songs sung during marriages, and the funeral ritual of chest beating. 

Dhondo Keshav Karve

• Dhondo Keshav Karve remarried a 23-year-old widow named Godubai, who had been widowed at the age of eight months.
•  In 1893, he established the ‘Widhawa-Wiwahottejak Mandali,' which encouraged widow remarriage while also caring for their orphaned children. Widhawa-Wiwaha-Pratibandh-Niwarak Mandali was renamed Widhawa-Wiwaha-Pratibandh-Niwarak Mandali in 1895. (Society to Remove Obstacles to Marriages of Widows).
• • In 1896, he founded the “Hindu Widow's Home Association” (also known as Hindu Widows Home or Widows Home Association), a shelter and school for widows in Hingane, Maharashtra. He chose the remote location because he had been expelled from Pune's orthodox Brahmin community for supporting widow remarriage and education.
