The call for a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in India, as evidenced by Uttarakhand’s recent legislation, is being presented as a step towards secular advancement. Nevertheless, detractors suggest that genuine equality demands addressing disparities inherent in Hindu personal laws initially. It is imperative to revamp aspects such as inheritance, guardianship, and divorce within Hindu law before enforcing a uniform code, thus guaranteeing that the UCC advances fairness rather than mere homogenization.
