The recent enactment of a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in Uttarakhand has reignited the debate on the need for a comprehensive and credible UCC in India. While proponents hail it as a step towards secularism and equality, critics point out that achieving true equality requires addressing the existing inequities within Hindu personal laws first. Key areas in Hindu law such as inheritance, guardianship, and divorce are in need of significant reforms to ensure fairness and gender equality. Critics argue that any move towards a UCC should prioritize reforming Hindu personal laws to promote justice rather than mere assimilation. The discussion around the UCC remains complex and multifaceted, with different stakeholders advocating for various approaches to achieve uniformity in civil laws across different religious communities in India. As the debate continues, it is crucial to consider the nuances and implications of any proposed UCC to ensure that it upholds the principles of justice, equality, and secularism in the Indian legal system.
