Question

Akbar had incorporated some principles of social reforms in the Din-i - illahi. Which of the following social reforms did not form part of Din-i- illahi?

• A. Remarriage of widows
• B. Prohibition of child marriage
• C. Monogamy
• D. Rejection of seclusion of women

Answer 1

The correct option is D Rejection of seclusion of women

Rejection of seclusion of women did not form part of Din-i- illahi. Din-i - illahi possessed the excellence of all the existing creeds but defects of none. Din-i - illahi was a syncretic religion propounded by the Mughal emperor Akbar in 1582, intending to merge some of the elements of the religions of his empire, and thereby restore the differences that divided his subjects.
