The Vidhava Vivaha Uttejaka Mandal (Society for Encouragement of Widow Marriage) was established in _________ in the second half of the nineteenth century.
The correct answer is Bombay Presidency.
Reformers like Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar, Jyotirao Phule, and Vishnu Shastri Pandit worked tirelessly to improve their condition and advocate for their right to remarry. The passing of the Widow Remarriage Act in 1856 was a major legal victory, although social acceptance took much longer. Organizations like the Vidhava Vivaha Uttejaka Mandal played a crucial role in practical implementation and encouraging families to accept widow remarriage. These movements were often met with resistance from orthodox sections of society, highlighting the challenges faced by reformers.
