The call for a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in India, as highlighted by Uttarakhand’s recent legislation, is being seen as a step towards secular advancement. Nonetheless, there are dissenting voices asserting that genuine equality can only be achieved by addressing existing disparities within Hindu personal laws. It is believed that reforms are imperative in domains such as inheritance, guardianship, and divorce prior to the enforcement of a uniform code. This approach aims to guarantee that the UCC not only standardizes practices but also upholds principles of fairness and impartiality. Critics emphasize the need to prioritize the overhaul of Hindu personal laws to ensure that the UCC serves the cause of justice rather than mere homogenization.
