The recent move towards implementing a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in India, as seen in Uttarakhand’s recent legislation, is being touted as a step towards secular advancement. However, critics point out that achieving genuine equality necessitates addressing the disparities present in Hindu personal laws first. It is imperative to reform aspects such as inheritance, guardianship, and divorce within Hindu law before advocating for a uniform code, in order to guarantee that the UCC fosters fairness and impartiality rather than mere assimilation. This call for reform within Hindu personal laws is essential for laying the groundwork for a credible and effective Uniform Civil Code in India.
