“Gandhi refers to 'the terrible judgment' in the Cape Supreme Court setting aside the practice of 40 years, which '... thus nullified in South Africa at a stroke of the pen all marriages celebrated according to the Hindu, Musalman and Zoroastrian rites. The many married Indian women in South Africa in terms of this judgment ceased to rank as the wives of their husbands and were degraded to the rank of concubines, while their progeny were derived of their right to inherit the parents' property. This was an insufferable situation for women no less than men, and the Indians in South Africa were deeply agitated. The shock to Indian women was so great that for the first time they joined in the Satyagraha campaign.”
