In Hinduism, it is believed that the earliest generations of mortals were brought to an end by Lord Vishnu’s Matsya Avatar, sparing only Manu and his wife. It is said that the early humans, had no knowledge of religion, humanity and Dharma & Karma, which led to massive self-destruction of humanity. This is when Lord Vishnu appeared in Matsya avatar and warned Manu (human son of Lord Brahma) of the impending flood that would destroy everything, in order to restore everything. He asked him to prepare an ark and safeguard male and female pair of every living organism, and enough food resources for their survival. He later instructed him to meanwhile, compile knowledge of Dharma and Karma, including rituals, laws and responsibilities for every human, set to be born thereof. This knowledge authored by Manu, was widely known as Manusmriti. However, there has been no evidence supporting this theory. This Sanskrit Vedic text has been of late, interpreted and translated into language, understood by masses. Of many chapters mentioned in Manusmriti, is one where he enlisted some eternal laws for husband and wife, whether they be united or separated.
