The recent implementation of a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in India, as seen in Uttarakhand, is being hailed as a step towards secular advancement. However, critics are pointing out that achieving true equality hinges on addressing disparities present in Hindu personal laws. It is believed that reforms in aspects such as inheritance, guardianship, and divorce within Hindu law should precede the enforcement of a uniform code to guarantee that the UCC fosters fairness rather than mere assimilation. The call for a credible UCC that genuinely promotes justice underscores the importance of first rectifying existing inequalities within Hindu personal laws.
