The recent move towards implementing a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in India, as seen in Uttarakhand’s recent legislation, is being positioned as a step towards secular advancement. Nonetheless, critics point out that genuine equality necessitates addressing disparities present in Hindu personal laws initially. Key areas such as inheritance, guardianship, and divorce require reform before the imposition of a uniform code can be considered, guaranteeing that the UCC serves the purpose of justice rather than mere assimilation. This call for reform within Hindu personal laws is crucial for the credibility and effectiveness of any future Uniform Civil Code in India.
